In this uplifting episode, Stephanie and Dina speak to Brittany, an outspoken 29-year-old living with CAH. A self described "open book", Brittany shares her life's journey from her diagnosis as a toddler, thanks to her mother's intuition and advocacy, to her drive to find a cure for CAH. Along the way Brittany reveals she has suffered from weight gain, severe acne and even a femoral stress fracture. Her path also includes a life changing moment after meeting others for the first time who are also living with CAH, with help from CARES.

She makes clear her inclination that there be more research, more mental health understanding and awareness, to eradicate the use of steroids and to finally find a cure.
