What I Would Say to Someone Newly Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Today

12 minutes

If I could go back in time, I’d sit down with my newly diagnosed self and share everything I’ve learned—things I wish I’d known, things that would have saved me some fear, shame, and wasted energy. In this episode, I share the conversation I wish I’d had: a message of hope, strength, and perspective for anyone facing a new Parkinson’s diagnosis.

You are still you. Parkinson’s might change parts of your life, but it doesn’t erase your worth, your humor, or your value. I talk about the power of community, letting go of shame, refusing to let Parkinson’s define every moment, and how to stop living in fear of a future that hasn’t even happened yet.

If you’re newly diagnosed or even if you’ve been fighting this for a while, this episode is for you.

⚠️ Important Note
This is my personal Parkinson’s medication journey—what works for me may not work for everyone. Parkinson’s is different for each person, and medication plans should always be tailored to individual needs. Before making any changes to your medication or treatment, consult with your doctor or healthcare provider.
