Episode 264: It's Our 5-Year Anniversary with CNN's John King and a Dawnia Baynes Takeover

We're celebrating the 5th anniversary of RealTalk MS and we're kicking it off with my exclusive conversation with CNN national correspondent and anchor, John King. John was diagnosed with MS in 2008. However, John didn't disclose his diagnosis until 2021 -- in an unplanned moment on national television. John shares his MS journey from the day he was diagnosed through his unplanned disclosure. And he also shares a message for anyone who is newly diagnosed with MS. Then, we're doing something completely different! You won't want to miss the second half of this special 5th anniversary episode when listener Dawnia Baynes takes over RealTalk MS -- and interviews Jon! We have a lot to talk about!
