In this episode, Jessie opens up about her journey from being misdiagnosed with anxiety to finally discovering she had epilepsy—and how an MRI for her seizures revealed something even more shocking: a brain tumor. Jessie shares how persistence, self-advocacy, and support from others helped her navigate this life-changing diagnosis and find the right treatment. Through an honest and inspiring conversation, we explore the intersection of mental health, epilepsy, and the power of community to build resilience.
