Despite the disability or condition, the path from denial to acceptance is anything but linear and smooth. We all have our own journeys to becoming the person we want to be. Sometimes that journey requires us to travel alone and other times we have are fortunate enough to find the support and guidance we need.

Becky Etchberger is a successful TV producer for many shows such as American Idol, The Voice & Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. She is also navigating the ups and downs of life, love, and disability due to CMT. In this episode, Becky reveals how she went from hiding her symptoms from dates and coworkers to embracing CMT with a life-changing surgery and all of its powerful lessons.
