Description

Stacia Kalinoski has worn many hats—news reporter, marathon runner, author, filmmaker, and substitute teacher—but epilepsy changed the course of her life in ways she never expected. In this episode, Stacia gets real about the uphill battle that inspired her memoir Racing Uphill: the denial, the career shifts, and the moment she said yes to brain surgery. We talk about what friendship looks like when someone literally has to email your mom, why memory feels like treasure, and how creativity helped her piece together the story epilepsy tried to erase.
