30: Dating with Health Challenges with Niko

from This Is Not What I Ordered: conversations on chronic illness, loss + change

Niko is no stranger to adversity. Growing up as an undocumented immigrant in the US, he's had to anticipate, face and overcome the harsh unpredictability of life on a daily basis. In 2001, Niko began developing a skin condition called Tinea Versicolor, an infection that causes discoloration of the skin in various forms. Living with a skin condition has inspired him to examine life from many different perspectives. In this episode, Niko shares how dating someone else with a skin condition changed the way he sees his own strengths and what inspired him to create a dating app for people with health challenges. Niko is the founder of the Lemonayde -- a dating app specifically for people with health challenges. Lemonayde is also the first official sponsor of This is Not What I Ordered (cue marching band music)! I really enjoyed diving into this week's episode with Niko. His insights are so deep and relatable - I hope you enjoy! You can read the full show notes at www.thisisnotwhatiordered.com
