Nia shares her journey of being diagnosed with suspected CTE and early onset Alzheimer’s at a young age, and how those realities intertwined with the challenges of a traumatic upbringing. Together, we talk about her time in the Air Force while unknowingly navigating the symptoms of these conditions, and how her experiences shaped the strong, compassionate, and service-driven person she has become. **Trigger Warning** This episode of Kandid Konversations with Dr. Kelli contains mentions of very serious topics like violence, sexual assault and suicide.
