Clinical Psychologist Maggie Stagg shares her journey with her unexpected Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, and the equally unexpected opportunities for creating connections with others who share it. More specifically, PeakConnection host Lindsey Douros, who was recently diagnosed with the same chronic illness. In this episode, Stagg and Douros talk about how choosing to embrace their shared MS diagnosis has led to a more meaningful connection with each other, and makes the heavy load a little easier to bear.

“This is my thing, right? Everyone's born with their thing, their thing to carry...It becomes empowering. And then, when you connect with other people who are going through the same thing, you can give them a little bit of your power, right? It's like, ‘I've done hard things. I do hard things. I feel hard things. And you can too.’" --Maggie Stagg
