Lipedema isn't rare, but it is rarely diagnosed. It is estimated that more than 11% of the women population might have this fat deposit disorder, known by the pain patients experience with it. Today we have blogger, speaker, podcaster, Lipedema patient, compression garment model and eternal optimist, Caroline Sprott to tell us her story with Lipedema, her life with the chronic condition and her journey to acceptance. Caroline got diagnosed with Lipedema at 21 and after going through very challenging times and several disappointments, she decided to adopt a method she calls 'Fashion Therapy' to lift her spirits to work with the compression garments instead of working against them. She now inspires many others, like me, to wear the garments proudly and that compression is not our enemy. She teaches us many more lessons about the power of a positive mindset, but for those you will need to tune in and listen to this amazing conversation.
Caroline, thank you for being you, and for becoming my Delusional sister ;)

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
