The FND PodcastAuthor: Odettecreates, Detty, Odette Placido
Hi, Im Detty a mum, a wife, a crocheter, a tea-lover, and someone living with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). I created The FND Podcast as a place to have real, honest chats about life with this condition the parts that are scary, the parts that are frustrating, and the parts that are still full of light. Here, youll hear from people with lived experience, carers, professionals, and advocates who all bring their stories, their insights, and their heart to the table. We talk about what its like to be diagnosed with FND, what recovery can really look like, how to manage flare-ups, navigate work, raise a family, and just keep showing up one breath, one step, one day at a time. This podcast isnt about perfection. Its about connection. Its about making space for every part of this journey especially the parts that often get left out of the conversation. Whether youre living with FND, supporting someone who is, or just trying to understand it better youre welcome here. So, grab a cuppa, get comfy, and join me for conversations that are warm, raw, and real. Youre not alone. Detty We are happy to announce that we are FND AUS Podcast series.
