Thankful Thursday: Rebuilding my life with Empowering Epilepsy

I wish I could convey to you in writing how finding Leigh Goldie with Empowering Epilepsy changed my journey with Epilepsy for the better. I literally don’t feel like I would be here today if it was not for the support I received and continue to receive from Leigh Goldie and Empowering Epilepsy.
