In this episode, I sit down and have a chat with my dear friend, Denise. Have you ever wondered what it's like to live with an invisible disease? We get real about living with MS, a sneaky illness that doesn't always show its face. We dive into what it's like dealing with everyday stuff and big challenges, celebrating the little wins like being able to fold laundry, and facing down people's judgments. She also shares about leaving a job she was forced to leave due to her diagnosis and finding ways to cope and find joy in the new normal—think nature, simple pleasures, and those small but mighty self-care acts.
Denise also shares her story of a game-changing treatment in 2016 that put her MS on pause, reminding us why we've got to keep speaking up for ourselves. And, because we can't face it all without our tunes, we talk about the songs that keep us going strong—tracks like "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson and "Barracuda" by Heart, which are more than just music; they're anthems of resilience. If you're looking for a community that gets it, or maybe a new fight song for your own struggles, this episode's got you. Join us for a chat that's as real as it gets, and maybe find a bit of strength along the way.
