We explore:

• Why communication matters (especially in health + personal advocacy)

• Tips for speaking up in everyday life

• The link between confidence and connection

If you’ve ever felt unheard, dismissed, or unsure how to express yourself — this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I dive into what is call the “crap gap”—that frustrating period between treatments where your OCREVUS starts wearing off, and the symptoms start creeping in again. If you’ve ever lived through this cycle, you know exactly what I mean.

I open up about the medication I’m currently on, how it helps (and where it falls short), and why I believe healing goes far beyond prescriptions. I share my thoughts on holistic wellness, my own journey into spirituality, and why I’m a strong believer in bridging Western medicine with Eastern healing practices.

This isn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about finding what works for YOU—body, mind, and soul.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling through the gaps, this episode is for you. I see you. And I promise—you’re not alone.

In This weeks episode we’re talking about something close to my heart—how Western medicine and holistic wellness can absolutely work together for those of us living with MS.

Managing MS isn’t just about medication. It’s also about the food we put into our bodies, how we move, how we rest, and how we care for our spirit. True wellness is layered—and when we bring all these components into alignment, that’s where the real magic happens.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your journey, this episode will inspire you to think bigger about what healing can look like—and how to create a life that supports every part of you.

In this episode of Fearless with Mary, I sit down with Paul Provins, also known as MS Runner UK, to talk about his incredible journey with multiple sclerosis and long-distance running.

Paul was sitting in a treatment chair when he made a life-changing decision—MS wouldn’t define him. Instead, he would take on marathons and ultra races, proving to himself (and the world) that his diagnosis wouldn’t hold him back.

We dive into:
 How he went from an MS diagnosis to running marathons and ultras
 What keeps him pushing through the toughest moments
 The mindset shifts that helped him reclaim control over his life
 Why movement and resilience are key to thriving with MS

Paul’s story is one of grit, determination, and breaking limits—no matter what life throws at you. If you’ve ever questioned what’s possible for you, this episode will change the way you see your own strength.

Multiple sclerosis isn’t just a battle of the body—it’s a war within the mind and heart.

Some days, it’s the guilt—of slowing down, of needing help, of canceling plans. Other days, it’s the grief—for the version of me that moved through life effortlessly, without pain, without hesitation. And then there’s the loneliness, the silent struggle that no one sees, the frustration of explaining MS over and over, the exhaustion of carrying something invisible.

 the mess of it all, I’m learning something powerful: self-compassion. I’m finding new ways to feel strong, celebrating even the smallest wins, and letting go of the need to compare my journey to anyone else’s. I’m giving myself permission to rest without guilt—and maybe, just maybe, you need that permission too.

This episode is raw, real, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt the weight of invisible struggles—whether it’s MS or something else—you’re not alone.

Hit play, and let’s talk about the part of MS no one prepares you for.
