11. Life with deadly food allergies

Hi everyone! This is a special episode to all of those who have suffered or continue to suffer from severe food allergies. For this week, I have on one of my friends from back home and who I also go to school with at the University of Washington, Sean Guevarra. It is definitely encouraging to see the improvements schools continue to make in spreading food allergy awareness so that kids like myself and Sean don't feel like the outcasts and scapegoats for peanut free tables, classrooms, and parties. However, there is ALWAYS MORE that we can do to help those who might not have the best support system, who might not have the school policies to keep them safe, and who might not be able to afford restocking their epi-pens so frequently. Because of food allergies, I have almost lost my life several times and am blessed to have the support system of my family and friends around me. Food allergies are nothing to mess with, especially if they are on the more severe side. The least we can do is be there for those who suffer from food allergies and make them know they aren't alone.And that is what this episode is about. Sean and I share our stories and experiences with severe food allergies through the years of elementary school to living on our own in a completely different state. It was a really fun and meaningful conversation for Sean and I and we are beyond excited to have others be apart of it. I hope you enjoy the episode! Send us Fan Mail
