Today’s interview is with Samar Poorlakani, a 32-year old sex-positive psychotherapist and globetrotter who is living with narcolepsy and cataplexy. Samar lived with debilitating sleep issues, muscle weakness, and chronic pain for years before finding the right doctors, diagnosis, and medications. Samar shares her experiences as a partner living with confusing and frustrating symptoms, and how she navigates her personal life and professional life as a therapist in Austin, Texas, all while maintaining a sense of humour and positive outlook. My conversation with Samar was interesting and inspiring, and I know you'll enjoy it!
