In the first few years of my diagnosis, I was ashamed, embarrassed and fearful of losing people and relationships. I thought that if I told people what I'm dealing with, it would push them away. I was wrong!!!! Yes some people fell off and started to avoid me for fear of not knowing what to do or how to act around me. I realized that keeping this diagnosis to myself was actually hurting me and that sharing my story opens up the dialogue for others to open up and share theirs.
Opening up and talking about your journey is healing for yourself and you learn that while you feel so alone there are so many others feeling the same way, experiencing the same challenges that you convinced yourself no one could ever understand.
Since sharing my journey, I've wondered how I can be of service to support others like me on this journey and in turn it help me too. I'm now a health coach. Ive been coaching newly diagnosed MS warriors since 2022 to strategize living with this disease in meaningful ways. We touch on a variety of challenges.

We will hit on acceptance of the diagnosis, relationship changes, fear of judgment, and moving past our limitations and truly living with PURPOSE.
