## Resource

In this encouraging episode of CAH Pulse, Dina and Stephanie talk to Allyson who is gracefully navigating life with CAH. Allyson eagerly shares her journey from being diagnosed at birth to becoming an athlete, an aspiring mentor for others in the CAH community and a motivated, thriving young adult. An avid swimmer and rock climber, there’s no mistaking Allyson’s positivity and drive when she lovingly mentions her supportive parents who allowed her to live as a typical child. When she opens up about her surgeries, her seizures, college life and the biggest challenge of all; finding an adult endocrinologist who actually knows what CAH is… it becomes apparent that Allyson finds power in being an open book. Finally, Allyson doesn’t miss a chance to share her mindset about living with this rare and difficult condition; giving sage advice to parents, kids and young adults so they too can gain the strength to resist limitations and most of all shame. Her inspiring words that being different “is what makes you, good” is also what makes this memorable episode of CAH Pulse so hopeful.
