I started Positively Narcolepsy as a page on Facebook that now reaches sometimes a half a million people per month. A year after I started it, as a way to encourage myself and others, I discovered that positivity and social interactions help with wakefulness.

Since then it's been my mission to help teach the world that happy matters. I started the Positively Narcolepsy group, which now has thousands of members. I began coaching, helping literally thousands of people navigate the difficult terrain of narcolepsy and I'm about to publish my first book! How To Be on Your Own Side - because honestly, it makes all this ish easier!

Diagnosed at 22, after 11 years of symptoms, I live with Narcolepsy Type 1, two movement disorders, two pain disorders and a bunch of other riotous actions from this faulty meatsuit. It's not the circumstances we're dealt that decide our thriving - it's our perspective. Join me in remembering that even though this life is hard - happy matters.
