Crown and Sash: Kristen's Narcolepsy Story - Rising Voices Ep.27

Kristen is a marketing professional and pageant titleholder from Florida. She was diagnosed with narcolepsy at the age of 35 after 25+ years of misdiagnosis. As a speaker with Rising Voices, Kristen shares her story with others to build awareness and to help others find a quicker path to diagnosis. The Rising Voices Series features a variety of first-hand stories from people living with sleep disorders around the world. At Project Sleep, we believe in the power of storytelling to raise awareness and break down stigma. This is why we train people with sleep disorders on how to share their experiences through the Rising Voices program.
