In This Episode:
- Cara Losh is a writer, author, and Disability Advocate in Kansas City, MO.
- On top of being a receptionist during the day, she is also a photographer on the side.
- It is important for women to share their stories because we all need community. If people don’t share their stories we end up feeling alone in our situations.
- EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) is a connective tissue disorder. It can either be passed down by the parents or sometimes the genetic variant creates itself. So you are born with it but people sometimes don’t have symptoms until adulthood. She was diagnosed in 2021.
- Cara shares her “Defined By Christ” God story.
- She was raised in a Christian home and became a Christian at the age of four. She continued to lean on her faith as she has been going through her EDS journey.
- She is trying to educate others so they know how to help and work with other children and adults with EDS.
- Her faith really helped her through the time when she was first diagnosed with EDS and realized her life and her career will be changing forever.
- Philippians 4:13 is Cara’s life verse because it reminds her that she can do hard things since God is with her.
- Without Jesus Christ we are all spiritually handicapped.
- All of us need community and support so find a local church. If you are having a struggle with something you can probably get online and find a support group.
