"It's enough that I know." Dawn's mindset strategy for the moments when almost no one understands what you're going through, not even doctors.

In Daily Dose 17, Dawn opens up about being so rare a narcolepsy case that she's had to teach a board-certified neurologist how to read her own test results. She leans on a decades-old Eleanor Roosevelt quote, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent," to explain why lacking empathy from others doesn't have to cost you your peace. A reminder that you're the one constant from cradle to grave, so being on your own side isn't optional, it's essential.
