This Is Me: What It Means to Be Seen

A World Mental Health Day Conversation with Actor and Advocate Sam Humphrey

Rare disease doesn’t just affect the body, it changes how we see ourselves.

In recognition of World Mental Health Day, Raregivers sat down with actor and advocate Sam Humphrey (The Greatest Showman) for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever shared, about mental health, faith, and what it means to live rare.

In this first installment of our new series, 'This Is Me: Mental Health & the Rare Journey,' Raregivers founder Cristol Barrett O’Loughlin and Sam explore what it truly means to be seen in a world that often overlooks differences. Through open dialogue and raw emotion, they remind us that every person, regardless of diagnosis, circumstance, or struggle, is inherently valuable simply because they exist.

“When life gets medical, people get emotional.”

Raregivers exists to bring those emotions to light.

This conversation marks the beginning of a three-part journey that explores mental health, caregiving, and the rare disease experience, because every story of survival deserves to be heard.

The full interview premieres on YouTube this Friday, October 10.
