Young Adults With Epilepsy’s podcast for young adults with epilepsy by a young adult with epilepsy, to share stories and give advice.
In this episode, we sit down with Erika, the founder of the Epilepsy Advocacy Network and secret comedian. We discuss her journey with epilepsy as a mom and creating what she so badly needed when she was first diagnosed— the Epilepsy Advocacy Network.
Through candid discussion we learn how Erika came to the decision to have brain surgery, how she handled epilepsy and being a mom, and how she came to founding EAN. The Epilepsy Advocacy Network provides those diagnosed with epilepsy many resources, such as: HOBSCOTCH, PACES, Peer support, and even help navigating insurance and finding the right doctor. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Erika!
