My guest this week is Portland-based film-producer, Kimberly Warner. In 2015 Kimberly was struck down with a mysterious illness, which was much later diagnosed as rare neurological disorder Mal de Débarquement Syndrome, or MDDS. MDDS is an incurable vestibular condition which manifests as a sensation of constant rocking, bobbing and swaying as though on a boat. After years of isolation and desperately chasing a fix, Kimberly founded Unfixed Media Productions in 2019 to share stories of those living with chronic or rare conditions and highlight how adversity can complete us and broaden our definition of what it means to live a “good life.” In this utterly raw yet enlightening conversation, Kimberly and I discuss what it means to be unfixed in a society obsessed with perfection and how to regain a sense of self after receiving a life-altering diagnosis. We also unpack 'inspiration porn'. She is a beautiful soul on a beautiful mission - go check her out. website: www.unfixedmedia.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/UnfixedCommunity Podcast: https://unfixedmedia.com/podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unfixed_film/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/unfixed_film Press: https://unfixedmedia.com/press-1 Personal website: www.kimberlywarner.com
