Michelle's Story Part III: Living with Narcolepsy | Rising Voices of Narcolepsy Speaker Series

How did loved ones react to her diagnosis? Learn how Michelle launched a fashion brand and went to Capitol Hill with Project Sleep.
ABOUT MICHELLE: Michelle is a designer, photographer, and gummy bear enthusiast living in Connecticut. She was diagnosed with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy after 20 years with the condition. As a trained speaker with Project Sleep's Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program, she hopes to spread awareness and help others get diagnosed.
RISING VOICES OF NARCOLEPSY is a leadership training program developed by the non-profit Project Sleep, aiming to raise awareness about narcolepsy while also empowering a new generation of patient advocates sharing their stories via writing and speaking.
ABOUT THIS VIDEO SERIES: While our trained speakers deliver in-person 20-minute presentations to audiences across the U.S. and internationally, we brought a few speakers together to adapt their presentations into this video series, so that their inspiring stories can reach more people around the world. SHARE this video to raise critical narcolepsy awareness!

Thank you! I appreciated hearing how therapy played a role in helping you find your feet after diagnosis. As a person with narcolepsy, that's something I've put off for years, to my own detriment (and that of those around me, haha!).
