This week, Landis sits down with Jason — a longtime nurse and fellow person with epilepsy — to talk about what seizure action plans really look like in real life. Not the perfect-on-paper version. The messy, human, constantly evolving one.

Jason shares his own epilepsy journey, what it’s like as a school nurse, caring for hundreds of kids while managing seizures himself, and why seizure action plans matter more than most of us realize.

They unpack what should actually be included, how plans change over time, and why not having one (yes, even as an advocate 👀) is way more common than we admit. Note: Landis openly admits she didn’t have one at the time of recording… but swore she would by the time this episode came out. Accountability, baby.

If you’ve ever Googled your symptoms at 2 a.m. and immediately decided it was “probably fine but also definitely fatal” — this one’s for you.

Landis sits down with neurologist and epileptologist Dr. Jessica Lowe — aka Dr. Brain Barbie — to talk about the messy middle between medicine and social media. From meeting patients where they already are (hi, TikTok), to the fear doctors have around posting publicly, to why showing personality — pink nails and all — can actually help patients feel safer, heard, and more confident walking into appointments.
