In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I open up like never before.

From the early days of my diagnosis to moderating national Parkinson’s events—while people didn’t even realize I had it—I share the quiet struggles, the moments I felt invisible, and how I found my purpose again. I talk about the exhaustion, the comments that made me feel unseen, and the tools that help me keep going, like the life-changing pill bottle timer.

If you’ve ever felt like Parkinson’s was shrinking your world, I want you to hear this: Parkinson’s doesn’t get to write your ending—you do.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or deep into your journey, this one’s for you. You’re not done yet. And neither am I.

🧠 Topics covered:

• Hiding my diagnosis for 5 years
• Facial masking and the emotional toll
• Moderating Parkinson’s panels while silently struggling
• The myth of “looking fine”
• How leaving my job became a turning point
• The tool that changed my medication routine
• Showing up, even on the hard days

💬 Let me know in the comments what keeps you going. I read every message.

⚠️ 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.
