#39: In this episode, I chat with Julie Flygare, President & CEO of Project Sleep about World Narcolepsy Day 2021 (celebrated on September 22nd each year). I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy while I was a college student at Colorado State. Then in 2014, my cataplexy symptoms developed. This is a neurological condition that has so many stigmas and misinformation. I'm so grateful to Julie for the work she's doing to help people get diagnosed faster and just general awareness.
