Today on MS understood we chat with Edie Sohigian. Edie was working as a vice principal when she was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a high powered, stressful job and she had a stressful home life growing up and was unable to tolerate things very well. Throughout this chat about many things in this episode. Edie chats bout how and why her pool has been a life saver. How stress is one of her top triggers, and the things she's had to do to release that trigger. Edie also hosts a podcast called Thriving Over Surviving and she lights up when she talks about it, the incredibly supportive online multiple sclerosis community and why she decided to share these uplifting stories.

Before we get into todays episode, I wanted to share something that I'm super passionate about. For over 10 years I have been sharing simple living tips and tricks online. Initially our simple living adventure started because of our need to be budget conscious, and continued because of our passion for the environment.
