What happens when life forces a plot twist you never saw coming?

In this powerful episode of Plot Twist, Tiana Reeves sits down with Patti Bevilacqua to talk about the reality of living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and how chronic illness can reshape identity, mindset, and purpose. Patti opens up about her journey navigating MS, the emotional and physical challenges of an “invisible illness,” and the resilience it takes to rebuild your life in the face of uncertainty.

Together, they explore the concept of the “invisible bricks” we all carry—those unseen struggles that shape how we show up in the world. This conversation dives into redefining strength, embracing vulnerability, and learning how to ask for help without shame.
