If you told me Parkinson’s would give me the best gift of my life, I’d have laughed you out of the room. Everyone talks about what you lose with Parkinson’s—mobility, independence, even the ability to button a shirt without a 5-minute battle. But nobody warned me that Parkinson’s might actually give me something I wouldn’t trade for anything.

In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I reveal the biggest and most unexpected gift this disease has given me: community.

We’ll talk about:

•How my diagnosis left me searching for hope in the darkest places

•The surprising way a late-night video turned into real friendships

•Why shared stories, dark humor, and honest questions matter more than medical pamphlets

•How strangers became lifelines—and why you don’t have to do Parkinson’s alone

•The movement we’re building together, one story at a time

This is more than a podcast. It’s proof that you’re not alone—and you never have to be again.

💬 What’s the one thing Parkinson’s has given you (even if it surprised you)? Drop your answer in the comments—I’d love to hear your story.
