After an almost decade-long seizure-free window, during which she competed internationally in track and field and became a mum, her epilepsy came back, stronger than before.In this episode, Bianca shares what it’s like living with almost daily seizures and why she still chooses to show up and lift, even when it would be easier to stop. She opens up about how she stays positive, what strength means to her now, and offers some practical insight for anyone who wants to understand epilepsy but doesn’t know where to start.It’s raw, powerful, and surprisingly uplifting.Find Bianca @bianca_hansenn Learn more about epilepsy @epilepsyactionaustralia@epilepsyfoundationaus
