#22 - Chloe Cohen - Living in power over limitations

How much you believe… In yourself? Can you put your feet on the ground in the morning are you focusing on your power… Or limitations? Chloe Cohen was diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS in 1998. She had a Trumatic head injury and within hours she was having tremors on her left side. She was only 20 years old and an aspiring cellist. That all changed. The early years after diagnosis were lonely for Chloe as they are for a lot of us. In order to find some people to share with, she cofounded an MS support group. And I'm so thankful she did. I've been involved with this group since 2007 and you can see Chloe's personality stamp on it because the meetings are always very positive and upbeat. Like she is. I have known Chloe for over 10 years and that time I have seen her belief, trust herself skyrocket. It hasn't been easy, but she's created a recipe That allows her power to shine despite any limitations the MS has brought on. Chloe knows she didn't get MS at such a young age to cry about it. She's here to teach and share her story. Whether it be in the gym and lifting more weight than she ever thought she could, speaking at MS events or in her writing She is a true example of how hard work, tenacious persistence and soulful desire can lead to amazing things. Chloe has written a book and the ebook comes out in May 2019. Chloe and I have been honored to be involved in the most recent national MS Society's awareness campaign. Through black-and-white pictures and heartfelt videos we got to tell our stories and it was profoundly touching for both of us. In this podcast Chloe mentions walking in the photo shoot while I was getting my picture taken and it brought her to tears. I think that's the power of this campaign in that it touches our soul. For me it's my daughters. For Chloe it's the loss of her musical abilities.   Buy Chloe's book - https://www.amazon.com/Making-Lemonade-out-Lemons-Story-ebook/dp/B07PGR64T7/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Chloe+Cohen&qid=1552144568&s=books&sr=1-2   Whatever It Takes Campaign -  pics and videos of Chloe and Jim - www.nationalMSsociety.org/Chloe
