Dancing with Disease Podcast

In this episode I talk about why we need to focus on what our body can do and not on what our body looks like. 

In this episode I talk about how I'm able to get so many things down: by keeping track of the important stuff. 

We all have things we must do in a day to feel our best. I like to keep things simple and keep the important things front and center. 

How you plan and approach your appointments can help you stay focused and organized. Listen in for the three ways I reduce the stress around appointments, and actually flip them around to be enjoyable. 

This episode talks about the questions some ask as they try to determine how they got sick, and why I no longer ask those questions. 

Living with disease while raising children hurts. I use three principles to help my sons cope with this so they can see me and not the illness.

This episode deals with the surreal moment you first hear the words of your diagnosis and takes you through a few ways to move through your new reality. It also features some of the sounds of Toronto traffic. The latter wasn't ideal, but this journey is about working with what I have. 

I'm super excited (and nervous) to put this out into the world. I'm sharing my story because when I was so sick that it hurt to think and had doctors doing all kinds of procedures and tests on me, I would have done anything to know that someone out there was facing Wegener's Disease and living a full life. Please note, you'll hear the effects of this disease on my airway as I take noisy breaths before I speak. I let this hold me back for too long. So here I am, Darth Vadar voice and all!
