In the very first episode of the Sweaty Girl Society Podcast, it's only fitting that we sit down with Maria Mickiewicz!
Nicknamed 'The OG of Hyperhidrosis Advocacy', Maria launched her blog, My Life as a Puddle, to share personal and professional stories about hyperhidrosis. Since 2011, she's created hyperhidrosis hope and awareness one drop at a time and helped others feel better about the skin they’re in. Maria also is a wife and mother, ulcerative colitis warrior, and thyroid cancer survivor.
Maria's advocacy work has been featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, Healthline Media, Pharmacy Times CME, SELF Magazine, and many podcasts. She's dripped on-stage while speaking to members of the FDA and Pharma at the inaugural Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting on Hyperhidrosis and interviewed key thought leaders on her blog.
