Over 45,000 people in Ireland have epilepsy, making it one of the most common neurological conditions.Yet, for the multiple types of epilepsy and multiple ways in which they present, it is often misunderstood.John Verling, father of Freddie Verling, who has Dravet Syndrome, and Mia Sherwood Scully who has temporal lobe epilepsy join Kieran to discuss their experiences.

Earlier in the show, Kieran spoke with John Verling and Mia Scully about epilepsy, and the different ways in which they have suffered from it over the years.Joining Kieran to discuss what we do and don't understand about epilepsy is Dr Colin Doherty, Consultant Neurologist and Director of the Epilepsy Services at St James's Hospital.

More than 55,000 people in Minnesota have epilepsy, a condition that causes people to have seizures. That's according to the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota.Stacia Kalinoski was forced to become an expert on the causes and symptoms of epilepsy when she began having seizures about 20 years ago. As they continued on-and-off, Kalinoski fought to pursue her dreams of working in journalism and her love of long-distance running. It's now been ten years since she had brain surgery for the condition. And she's out with a memoir, “Racing Uphill: Confronting a Life with Epilepsy.”

In this powerful episode, we journey to the United Kingdom to hear from Grace Mbuthia, a devoted mother of three. Grace opens up about raising her eldest daughter, 13-year-old Lexi, who was diagnosed with autism at age 3—alongside other complex medical conditions including Selective Mutism, Hydrocephalus, and Epilepsy.Grace shares how the early years were filled with confusion, as Lexi didn't present with the typical signs of autism. With so many overlapping medical concerns, the autism diagnosis initially felt like another label being added. But over time, Lexi's ability to mask became clearer.Through humor, resilience, and unwavering love, Grace reflects on the past ten years of advocacy, growth, and learning. She also discusses her work in the care sector, supporting vulnerable adults and her growing efforts to serve children and families navigating similar challenges.This episode is a moving reminder that autism often doesn't come alone—and that no mom has to walk this path in isolation.Connect with Grace on Instagram: @_gra_cie_5Follow us on Instagram and Facebook: @theabmpodcastYouTube: theabmpodcastFollow on TikTok: @autismforbadassmomsInterested in being a guest on the show?

In this episode of Talk About It, actor/ comedian/ influencer and good friend of the show Stanzi Potenza returns to talk about something that can cause both celebration and disappointment alike... milestones. Everybody naturally loves to celebrate milestones. They can motivate us to keep pushing or show us that our progress is leading to positive outcomes, whether they are for an addiction that you have overcome, professional progress, even time between seizures. But are they designed by default to lead us to disappointment when we don't reach the next one? In the case of seizures, there is inevitability that a breakthrough seizure may - and will - occur, so is this really a healthy thing for patients or caregivers to do? Greg chats with Stanzi, because she recently posted that she had her first seizure in almost two years, which lead to some feelings of disappointment. The call she has to make to her mom, telling her followers about it, even coming out of a postictal state and realizing what has just happened. It can be discouraging when your pride and self-fulfillment is attached to not having seizures. So what is the right thing to do? Greg also has another friend of the show, Jonathan Shapiro, on to briefly give some hopeful perspective about reframing how we think about milestones. This is something we all deal with, so you do not want to miss this episode! Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
