What happens when you stop letting illness write your story - and start writing it yourself?

In this inspiring conversation, Karen Dwyer speaks with Claudine Heritier - a woman who quietly, courageously, and wholeheartedly rebuilt her life after years of living with multiple sclerosis. From an overwhelmed expat juggling family, business, and endless relocations, to a woman grounded in structure, joy, and self-trust, Claudine’s story is proof that it’s never too late to change direction.

She shares how she moved from fear to freedom, overcame scepticism, and embraced daily practices that helped her regain physical abilities, release bitterness, and find peace in the present. Whether you’re living with chronic illness or navigating a life transition, her wisdom will leave you feeling hopeful and empowered.
