Episode description

Cam Ayala was a contestant of Hannah Brown’s season of the Bachelorette and Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise. Cam was vocal on both shows and worked to be an advocate for the disease Lymphedema, which he was diagnosed with at age 11. He was crushed by the way ABC chose to edit out lymphedema and being edited as a villain, but now post show is doing incredible work as a voice for the community. Cam went through a recent leg amputation surgery and is currently in the recovery process as he continues to spread awareness for the extremely misunderstood disease.  Sydney and Cam talk: -Cam’s time on the Bachelorette and why he thinks they chose to edit out Cam opening up about his lymphedema -being villainized by ABC -who has reached out from Bachelor Nation post amputation surgery -What lymphedema is and why it is so misunderstood by the medical community and general public  -His work in lymphedema advocacy -His faith and how others can find it through their own challenges -Embracing life changes like his leg amputation -What’s next for him  Thank you to our sponsors!
