Life with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) The GOOD and the BAD | A Genetic Disorder – Podcast

Описание: 🌱 Living with a genetic disorder is not just about medical reports.
It’s about everyday life, relationships, work, self-image, and long-term self-management.

🎙️ In this podcast, I speak with a woman originally from South India 🇮🇳, now living in Germany 🇩🇪, who shares her lived experience of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). She talks about growing up with NF1, navigating long-term uncertainty, building a career as a financial advisor 💼, and sustaining relationships while living with a lifelong genetic condition.

🧬 This is not medical advice.
💬 This is a real conversation.
❤️ A human story beyond the diagnosis.
