In this Episode, I interview Part 1 Cassidy Chapman.  She is a disabled lawyer, an MS-patient advocate, an HSCT warrior and patient advocate, a mentor, a teacher, a nonprofit-founder, and a two-time small business owner.   She was diagnosed with MS in January of 2004 at 22yo, the day before her 23rd birthday, during her first year of law school. Her journey since her diagnosis has been exactly that - A Journey.  The list of things we will discuss in this Two Part Interview are her passing the bar, working as an attorney, opening her own law firm, traveling abroad and living in the Caribbean, surviving multiple failed DMT's and Steroids, being denied disability and becoming a HSCT (Stem Cell Transplant) Warrior.  Needless to say we have much to discuss.  I hope you enjoy this two part Interview.

In this Episode we will discuss 10 things we would have known when we were diagnosed and 10 Things, we would have told out younger self.  We are hoping this helps the newly diagnosed MS or Autoimmune Patients.

Ask Jen about how she uses her "Spoon" system to save and conserve energy.

Jen Phegely is Owner and Operator of Pilates with Jen located in Larchmont, Ca.  Jen is a fellow MS Warrior.  Jen has an amazing story, not only as a person fighting MS, but recently she battled a bout with cancer.  She is an inspiring person and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Jen Phegley graduated in 2001 from Skadron College, Valedictorian. 

 Trying to get back into shape, after the birth of her second child, Jen became tired of the traditional gym routines.  Looking for something better Jen fortuitously discovered Pilates.  She quickly fell in love with the practice and the results!  So much so that she decided to forsake her nursing career to pursue the art of Pilates full-time.  Her goal:  to one day teach the magnificent art of Pilates in a beautiful studio.  Jen worked hard, completing her training and apprenticeship at Studio B Pilates of Los Angeles, becoming a certified Pilates instructor in 2006.  Having never looked back, Jen has been teaching loyal clients ever since.  

 She has truly found her calling.

Today's Interview  is Part Two of a Two Part Interview with Kathy Reagan Young. Kathy was diagnosed in 2008. She found everything that was on the internet at that time was horrible. She decided to change that in 2011 by building a website to show people that there is life after diagnosis - and it can be a great one! Then - in 2015 - she started the FUMS Podcast Show - to provide information, inspiration, and motivation to live your best life with MS. She interviews people living with MS and experts in the disease to help everyone with MS. Kathy also adds her own brand of sass - and attitude - encouraging everyone to "talk to this stupid disease as it deserves - tell if FUMS every day." Instead of giving everything to MS - She encourages people to instead, just give it the finger!  

Kathy is an Co-Author of a hilarious and informative E-Book -   Bowel and Bladder Issues in Multiple Sclerosis by Two Pee Brains With Potty Mouths Talking Shit About MS.
