Podcast Overview
<p><span style="font-weight:400;">My name is Frankie Caputo and I was born with congenital nystagmus. Throughout most of my childhood, I allowed my nystagmus to define me. High school was pretty brutal and I was constantly riddled with insecurities about my eyes. It wasn’t until I hit my early 20’s that I realized how much more there is to life than my eye condition. Around this time I began a journey of self discovery focusing on my mind, body and soul. I learned that by consciously changing the negative thoughts that I had about my nystagmus into positive and even humorous ones, that the condition was having less of a hold over me. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">Before the Dancing Eyes Podcast, the only nystagmus related content I could find online were videos of doctors teaching about the condition or surgical procedures. But I didn’t care about that. I wanted to relate to people who live with nystagmus. I wanted to know that even with nystagmus, it was possible to live a rich and fulfilling life. In my search for community and understanding, the Dancing Eyes Podcast was born. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">On the Dancing Eyes Podcast, I have conversations with interesting from people all around the world who were born with nystagmus. I’ve interviewed students, doctors, parents, psychologists, musicians, designers, etc, all who were born with nystagmus! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">Come join me on a journey of understanding and self discovery as we navigate our lives with nystagmus together!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight:400;">All links - https://linktr.ee/dancingeyespodcast</span></p>
