[] Bettina M Brown: Hello and welcome to In The Rising Podcast. My name is Bettina Brown, and this is the platform I've chosen to talk about living a life that's in alignment with your hopes, your dreams, and your goals. And sometimes living the life that's in alignment with your goals is fighting for the life of those that you love, and that is the story of the person I spoke to today.
Her name is Susanna Cahalan and is the author of Brain On Fire and is the person herself who had a medical condition that was extremely rare. But her parents would not give up on her and her boyfriend now. Husband did not either. So I welcome you to my podcast today to hear the conversation between Suzanne and I as we talk about life and joy and rebirth.
10 years after her first publication of Brain On. Well, I am really, I am so honored to speak with a person that has gone from there and back again, and it's Susanna Cahalan, author of Brain On Fire, my Month of Madness, but more importantly, a survivor of a condition that was very, that is very rare, was even more rarely known and lived to tell the story and to raise awareness.
So thank you for being on in The Rising Podcast.
