I’m so proud of that past version of me.. she had so many symptoms and hurdles, it would have been easy to throw in the towel.

But she didn’t.

If you see yourself in that version of you, don’t give up, I know it’s possible for you too.

In a few weeks I’ll be hosting a Masterclass talking about the method I used to get here.. from my couch to a mountain top, comment CLASS and I’ll send you the link to sign up (don’t worry, it’s free!)

Would this have been helpful to hear when you were diagnosed?

Did your doc give you any info or support about lifestyle changes that also help control your symptoms?

This isnt me on a high horse touting how ive been cured of MS, because far from the truth.

And probs seems weird to say coming from someone who talks about MS for a living 😅

But when I was diagnosed at 24, I had no idea what my life was going to look like.

There was so much uncertainty.
So much to learn.
And so many questions about what this diagnosis meant for my future.

For a long time, I mostly tried not to think about it. I kept going with life until my symptoms made it harder to ignore what was happening in my body.

But eventually, I couldn’t ignore it anymore and my life depended on what my next move was (kinda dramatic, but also kinda true?)

I slowly started making changes, like what I ate, how I moved and how I managed stress. And wouldn’t you know, I started to feel better.

And over the last 10ish years, I’ve slowly built myself back up from the Aggressive MS Rock Bottom that I was in, to living a life full of things I want to do, like gardening all day or hiking Mt. Washington.

Now again, I’m not cured! I certainly still have days where MS takes center stage.
But I’m a hell of a lot better than I used to be, and now have some days where it’s not even on my radar

I want that freedom for you too.
I’ll be opening up my latest Masterclass soon on the method I used to get here.

Until then, tell me- how much does MS dominate your day?

Oh I definitely did, kicked him out of my kitchen to be exact.

But I think this relationship was the straw that broke my camels back in terms of developing MS.

I can see other risk factors throughout my life, but this 10000% was the final one.

If you are in a toxic or abusive relationship, job, friendship, family- this is your sign to put yourself first and leave!

These and so many more things are helpful to me in reducing symptoms…

But do I do them all, everyday? Absolutely not 😅

Some are staples, some are supports..

How do you take care of your symptoms?
What’s easiest?
What’s hardest?

Diagnosis TLDR:
Scene: 23, in graduate school, working at Target full time, and unfortunately in an abusive relationship

- vision got blotchy blurry
- spine got electrical impulse feeling with movement
- eye doc, who said get an MRI, then left a message saying don’t have a brain tumor 😲 but see a neurologist IMMEDIATELY 😲😲
- neurologist: does all the tests. More MRIs, visual field, AWFUL spinal tap 😵‍💫

Yup, MS 🧡

What was your first symptom?
what told you something was wrong?

It’s easy to outsource the understanding of our bodies to the internet and “other”

I mean I get it, I was once in an unpredictable body too- and it sucked. I didn’t understand what was happening and I would have loved for someone to say: here’s the key.

But what if… instead of looking outward for more info.. you went inward and gave yourself the information, and in doing so you helped to improve how your body feels and functions.. sounds kinda cool, right?

I explain it all in my Slap it to Map it training.. comment SLAP and I’ll send it to you asap

First, comment SLAP and I’ll send you my morning exercise that is great for waking you up and helping you feel better in your body.

Second.. The actually doing something day after day after day is the hardest part!

Most people think consistency means daily- but that’s not true! Don’t fall into that perfectionist trap.

Set an alarm on your phone a few times a day.
When the alarm goes off- don’t turn it off and ignore it- do the thing!

And you’re done!

How do you help yourself remember to be consistent?

Comment SLAP and I’ll send you the short how to video!

Your body functioning better so you feel better in 3 minutes?

It sounds like a stupid infomercial BS claim I know and I roll my eyes every time I type it, but.. it’s kinda true?

Idk, I’ll let you be the final judge
