Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. 

Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications.

Clothing can truly make people feel confident, but how can the fashion industry better address the needs of disabled people?

In this week's episode, I will be joined by Ardra Shephard. Ardra is the influential Canadian blogger behind the award-winning Tripping On Air. She is a script consultant for the AMI television network, and her blog was the subject of a WebMD-produced documentary  short. 

Ardra is a sought-after writer, consultant, speaker, and smoothie connaisseurs. She has contributed to FASHION magazine, InStyle, the National MS Society’s Momentum Magazine, msconnection.org, The Mighty, healthline.com, xojane, and others. She was named one of the top MS bloggers “in the universe” by feedspot.com, and Yahoo Lifestyle reported that @ms_trippingonair is the number one chronic illness account to follow on Instagram. In 2019 Ardra was the keynote speaker at the MS Foundation of the Cayman Islands gala fundraiser, and in 2020 she spoke at the MS Society’s On The Move event in Washington D.C.

With an international reach and reputation, Ardra is a leader in the MS community. She’s on a mission to change minds about what it means to live with a disability and to empower those with chronic illness to stake their place in the world.

In this week’s episode, we talk about How an MS diagnosis affected the fashion industry! How mobility aids as an accessory to embrace the disability?  The importance of body positivity movement. How technology and social media assist people with disabilities? Tips for people who want to advocate for disabilities. What steps would people take to support other diseases?

Hack: You are just human, you don’t owe anyone anything.
