When Janet Kearns first faced the reality of Parkinson's, it wasn't just a diagnosis—it was a shadow of her mother's own struggle with the same disease. On the Parkinson's Empowerment Podcast, Janet's profound story unfolds, revealing how denial morphed into determination.  Through the echoes of the past and the challenges of a global pandemic, Janet shares how exercise and the solidarity of a community became her cornerstones in the battle against Parkinson's.

In a candid exchange,  we discuss challenges that can arise when mobility challenges are not apparent to those around you.  We illuminate the early signals of Parkinson's and Janet's personal tactics for maximizing her medication's potency. Then, pulling on the gloves, we celebrate the lighter side of living with Parkinson's. From  'fighter names' to  friendships, Janet and I punch through the notion that this journey is a solitary one. The laughter in a boxing class is just as essential as the jabs and hooks—it's about fighting back with joy.
