Diagnosed with a rare eye condition in December 2023, Rebecca’s journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to your body and speaking up when something feels wrong. Despite initial uncertainty and a grueling experience in the ER, Rebecca’s persistence led to a diagnosis and treatment that restored her sight. This episode dives into the challenges she faced, the critical role of self-advocacy in healthcare, and the life-changing impact of being proactive about your health. Tune in to hear how Rebecca navigated her health scare, the lessons she learned, and how her experience has fueled a deeper passion for her work.
