Allergy Dragon's Lair Podcast Living Out Loud With Kentucky Native Melissa Gregory Rue Season 3 EP2
I am joined in the Allergy Dragon’s Lair with Melissa Gregory Rue a super cool friend of mine. Melissa shares her battle with autoimmune conditions Lyme disease, and still creating films along the way. This episode was recorded in fall of 2023, but I have been fighting my struggles with autoimmune disease as well. The conversation was so amazing I had trouble editing down to my average 30-minute max, and as you can see, this is a bit of a more extended episode.
More about Melissa:
Melissa Gregory Rue is a film writer, director, and producer based in Louisville, Kentucky. She grew up on a cattle and tobacco farm in Bourbon County, Ky., long before smoking was out and Bourbon was cool.

After three decades in Portland, Oregon, she moved back to Kentucky at the beginning of the pandemic to be closer to family.
