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!

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?

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?

Your possibilities are endless!
