Ep35: When the Body Stops Listening: Steve Georgeson on Living with MS and Redefining Strength

This week on I Choose Happy, Marilyn sits down with her longtime friend Steve Georgeson for a deeply honest conversation about what it means to keep living fully when your body begins to change in ways you never expected.Steve was just 29 years old — a new dad, a husband, and a firefighter in the prime of his life — when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In this episode, he shares what it’s been like to live with MS for more than 26 years: the grief of losing ease and mobility, the invisible mental and physical toll of the disease, and the long journey of learning to adapt without losing himself in the process.He also opens up about the challenge of accepting help, the freedom he found in redefining independence, and the perspective that has helped him keep choosing gratitude, connection, and joy.In honor of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, this is a conversation about more than the diagnosis. It’s about identity, family, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up for life... even when life starts to look very different than you imagined.__________Connect with Marilyn and be a part of the conversation in the I Choose Happy private Facebook group.
