Episode 7: Too Many Choices? Here’s What to Do

This episode is about decision fatigue—why it’s real, and how to outsmart it. Inside this episode: Why simplifying isn’t “giving up,” it’s preserving your energy How to automate everyday decisions My favourite trick: the “if–then” plan This isn’t about strict routines. It’s about making space—for joy, rest, and being more than your MS.

Episode 6: Designing a flare-friendly day

MS flares can hit out of nowhere. And when they do, even deciding what to do next can feel impossible. That’s why today’s episode of Walk a Myelin My Shoes is all about designing your day before the bad day shows up. You’ll learn: How to build a simple “bad day box” The science behind decision fatigue Why planning for low-energy days is a sign of strength, not defeat Because when the fog rolls in, you deserve more than just survival mode. You deserve soft landings, comfort, and care.

Episode 5: Celebrate the Small Stuff (Because It’s Not Small)

With MS, we often wait for “real progress” before we let ourselves feel good. But what if showing up at all was worth celebrating? Behavioural science says: progress fuels the brain. And it doesn’t care how small it is. In Episode 5 of Walk a Myelin My Shoes, we talk about: Why tracking the tiniest wins boosts motivation How to train your brain to notice effort And how to actually celebrate small stuff (without confetti… unless you want confetti) Because nothing is too small to count—especially when your nervous system is doing a full-time job just keeping you upright.

Episode 4: Motivation Is Overrated

Here’s a secret from behavioural science: You don’t need to “feel like it” to start. In Episode 4 of Walk a Myelin My Shoes, I talk about the days when MS makes everything feel heavy—and how to make starting easier. Because motivation usually shows up after you take action, not before. This week’s tool? Minimum Viable Action. Think: “Put on the socks.” “Sit on the chair.” “Do one stretch.” Because it’s not about doing it all—it’s about getting in the door.

Episode 3: Let Your Environment Do the Work

With MS, our brains are working overtime. Tiny decisions, habits, remembering things—it all adds up. Fast. This week on Walk a Myelin My Shoes, I share one simple shift that helped me finally stick to a routine. Spoiler: it wasn’t motivation. It was moving the vitamin bottle next to the kettle. Seriously. Turns out, your environment has way more power than you think.
