Understanding Narcolepsy: What Most People Don’t Know Featuring Michelle Weger

What happens when your body starts sending signals you don’t understand—and no one else seems to either?In today’s episode, I sit down with Michelle Weger—a powerhouse entrepreneur, author, and advocate—who opens up about her journey living with narcolepsy.From falling asleep during a science lab to finally getting diagnosed five years later, Michelle walks us through the daily realities of navigating a condition most people barely understand. We talk about what it’s really like to live with narcolepsy, how long it typically takes to get diagnosed (spoiler: way too long), and why having the right support system—including a service dog!—makes all the difference.

Michelle also shares how she built a business that works with her chronic illness, not against it, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop snoozing her dreams (yes, just like the title of her amazing book!).

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, misunderstood by others, or unsure how to balance ambition with chronic illness—this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and empowered.
