In this episode, we speak with Stassi Austin, who has lived with Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) since her teenage years. 

From school challenges to navigating relationships and work and finding her voice as a patient, Stassi shares what it’s been like growing up with a chronic, unpredictable condition. 

Her story reflects the resilience, confusion, and eventual confidence many people with ITP experience as they move through life stages. 

Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with ITP for years, this conversation offers connection and insight.
