Everyone Has a Story--This One's Mine

Before the diagnosis, before the surgery, before the podcast—there was just me… trying to make sense of a body that wasn’t behaving, and a life that was slowly being rewritten without my permission.

In this first episode of The MeningiomaCast, I share the real story of the year and a half leading up to my brain tumor diagnosis. From confusing symptoms to seizures, misdiagnoses, and that sinking feeling that something bigger was going on—this is the raw, unfiltered lead-up to hearing the words no one expects: “You have a brain tumor.”

If you’re newly diagnosed, living with a meningioma, or love someone who is—this one’s for you. Been through it all? Well you will probably relate.

Honest. Emotional. Sometimes funny. Always real.

Because brain tumors suck, but sharing helps.

Pass this episode on to anyone who may relate.

Next week:

I have a brain tumor. Now what?!?!?
