Julia lost her job because of MS. Now, she's fighting to help others deal with disability in the workforce. MS is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 49. It can be devastating to people who have spent time and invested money into their careers and then they are told they are no longer a valuable member of the workforce. We discuss ways to stay employed while working with a disability.
Julia is the current Lead Volunteer for Government Relations for the MS Society Atlantic Division and runs the largest public library in Fredericton, NB.

In this episode, we have an intimate conversation with country star Jess Moskaluke. She lost her father to the disease when she was 16 years old.
Speaking so openly about the loss of a parent is not an easy thing to do and I’m so grateful she was able to be a guest on this podcast.
Jess, thank you for using your platform to share information and help others in the MS community feel less alone in their journey with the disease.
