Episode 15: Reinventing Myself

Our guest Melanie Cobb, an opera singer and lawyer with many other creative layers, shares how her career changed throughout the years before and after her MS diagnosis. Her passion for music and talent took her on different endeavors since she started singing and learning to play guitar as a child. Melanie hosts a blog on social media where she writes about life with multiple sclerosis in a humorous way that will crack you up. Her characteristic sarcastic sense of humor portrays the reality of what she calls "the ridiculousness" of our lives with MS. Recently, she's been working more on her poetry to express herself and connect with others going through the same things.
