Today we chat with Emily Padfield, who I came across on the Netflix show Win the Wilderness. We chat a little about her time on this intensely physical reality show, but there are no spoilers, so head over to Netflix and check Emily out. I was so excited for this chat. Emily lives a very physical life, even now, running a farm with her partner Mark and we chat a bit about that. We speak about how hard it is to understand other peoples symptoms, let alone those without MS understanding.

We really cover so many things in this episode that I know there will be something for everyone.
