#40: Surviving Narcolepsy, Cataplexy and Sexual Assault — Nikki Moon
Manage episode 291846000 series 1912304
Nikki Moon has survived a full gamut of severe challenges, including issues with sleep, physical health, mental health and trauma. Specifically, she suffered one of the most devastating traumas a person can face — an incident of sexual assault and rape. Whatever the obstacle, however, Nikki turns pain into power: From her narcolepsy and cataplexy she’s learned to use medication pragmatically, and from her assault she’s learned to accept the compassion surrounding her. In this interview, she takes us through what coping has meant for her, how she’s found peace with the personal narrative of her experiences, how she’s braved the difficulty of sharing her story and how she navigates her mental health today.
Check out beautiful crafts made of reclaimed wood by Nikki’s family at Lunar Canyon!
