Thriving Over Surviving Multiple Sclerosis

The Multiple Sclerosis Fashionista's insight and first-hand knowledge of these topics brought new issues to light for me. If you are in the UK, please check out the ADAMS study.

Yes, it can be scary to show your vulnerable side. Some consider it a weakness. But vulnerability can be a powerful asset when you own it, share your story, and know your limits. Along with vulnerability comes trust. if we don't have trusting relationships, especially those of us who deal with autoimmune diseases like MS, we can feel unsupported and alone. In this episode, LaRoyia shares how her core value of vulnerability provides her with the ability to face her chronic illness head-on. She also shares what it means to her to be "strong-ish".
