Dr. Jeanne is a lesson in strength, formidability and building something from yourself and others like you.

“It was really difficult for me because I hid my panic disorder diagnosis for a very long time. I had a lot of shame about that because that doesn’t fit into a professional environment. So it was difficult to build Figi and to have to be so open about my story.”
