Living With FND, Gabi's Journey With Functional Neurological Disorder | Ep. 27

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by the incredible Gabi, a musician, teaching assistant, and former dentist, as she shares her personal journey with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

We talk about what FND actually is, the wide range of symptoms, and how misunderstood it still is in both medical and public spaces. Gabi opens up about how her life changed overnight — from collapsing at work to navigating seizures, brain fog, and losing her career in dentistry.

We explore: •What FND is and what it can look like

•Common myths and misconceptions

•Gabi's experience with diagnosis, treatments she's tried and finding strength through it all

•Seizure first aid and how to support someone with FND

•The emotional toll and how she found joy again through music and new opportunities.

This episode is about resilience, awareness, and breaking stigma around invisible and poorly understood conditions. Whether you live with FND, know someone who does, or just want to learn, this one’s for you.
