<h3 dir="ltr">Episode Summary</h3> <p dir="ltr">What is it really like to live with Tourette syndrome?</p> <p dir="ltr">In this heartfelt and eye-opening conversation, Melanie sits down with Baylee Nicole, a young mother and Tourette's advocate, to explore the realities of living with a neurological condition that is often misunderstood.</p> <p dir="ltr">Baylee opens up about receiving her diagnosis in adulthood, the daily physical and emotional challenges of Tourette syndrome, and the painful reality of having people—including members of her own family—question whether her condition is real.
