Hi, my name is Nathalie. Mental health and physical ailments have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. A broken family and being alone most of my life , but never giving up hope. My mission in this life is to spread love and awareness to others who struggle and make sure I can at least reach a few hearts to help them realize they are never alone. My dream is to one day release music that touches hearts and souls, the way other artists have touched mine.

My name is Zach. I’m 25 years old and live in southern Maine.Because of my challenges of Autism and ADHD, communication can be difficult for me. I don’t always know how to start a conversation. I’m pretty shy too. All of that makes it hard to make friends. But I’m a loyal friend.As an infant, I was taken into state custody and was adopted by my foster parents. We’ve been a family since I was three months old. I have 6 much older siblings.I’m a creative guy. I make art from wood and bottle caps. I work in a woodshop where they make beautiful furniture. I like to travel and love to explore abandoned buildings.

Atlas Bamonte is a 42-year-old disability advocate and lifelong community builder. Known as a “zebra” in the medical community, he has lived experience with rare and complex conditions, which deeply informs his work.

For many years, Atlas worked as a birth and lactation professional, serving families in Alabama and Florida as a WIC peer counselor, lactation counselor, and doula. He co-founded a nonprofit in Alabama dedicated to ensuring that people living in poverty had access to doula care, and he created inclusive homeschooling groups while raising and homeschooling his four children, each with medical complexities and unique learning needs.

Now based in South Carolina, Atlas spends much of his time collaborating with medical professionals at MUSC, Duke, and Harvard, and participating in research with the Norris Lab on connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). More recently, he was also diagnosed with dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease, making him a point of study and collaboration among specialists at MUSC.

Alongside his own medical journey, Atlas provides education and peer support for people living with rare diseases, chronic illness, and medical PTSD—helping others navigate systems that often feel overwhelming and isolating.

Years later, though he had a stroke, which would take almost the rest of his sight and the other eye. In the episode, we talk about his journey with his eyes, mental health, and a lot more
