How Diagnosis Changes You

In this episode, we are discussing the impact your diagnosis.. DUN DUN DUN. Not just on the person diagnosed, but on relationships, identity, boundaries, and the way you move through life + show up for yourself. We're diving into the unpredictability of living with chronic illness... the highs, lows, and everything in between. We also explore the unexpected beauty that can come from it all like deeper compassion, perspective shifts, resilience, meaningful community, and learning how to truly listen to yourself. This episode is a reminder that while chronic illness can change your life (and it SUCKS), it can change you in powerful ways too. If you’ve ever felt deeply shaped by your diagnosis, this one’s for you!

Multiple Sclerosis 101

Let's chat all things MS! This episode was created with the intention to be a quick, easy, + shareable way to spread Multiple Sclerosis awareness. So share, share, share, and spread that awareness dust everywhere! In this episode, Ashleigh and Jenna are breaking down what Multiple Sclerosis is, the different types (spoiler: there are more than 4), reducing the stigma around invisible illness, the spoon theory, and so much more. They share key awareness dates, common symptoms, and simple ways you can show support as well as help others better understand the reality of living with MS. This episode is a reminder that knowledge is power and awareness truly makes a difference! If you’re living with MS, supporting someone who is, or want to learn something new, this one’s for YOU.

Importance of Community

In this episode, Ashleigh and Jenna are discussing the importance of community (aka YOU, yes YOU) and why connection can be such a powerful lifeline when living with chronic illness. This conversation is all about finding support in spaces that make you feel seen and understood while navigating through some pretty isolating times. They share simple ways to connect with your own community. Reminding you to move at your own pace! You can get loud, be a fly on the wall, a silent supporter, a quiet contributor.. whatever floats your boat! As long as it feels right for YOU. If you’ve ever felt isolated in your journey or needed reassurance that people who get it are out there, this one’s for you!
