And with a vestibular disorder… It can feel impossible to find a place to meet up or to explain your condition to a new friend or romantic partner—but not this year! Today’s episode is all about relationships, fostering your connection, and how to create a helpful discussion around vestibular disorders with those closest to you. (I’ve also got a ton of date and meetup ideas for you!)
