Nobody Makes It Out Alive - On My Diagnosis, and Why I'm Only Interested In Living In My Power

from AmaLot Podcast with Ama Swiger · host Amanda Swiger

This is a more personal one, and a bit shorter than usual.I've been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and this episode I get into what it's been like, the symptoms I'm learning to live with, the anger at how long it took to get here, and the strange thing that happened once the dust settled. Because when I sat with the question of what I'd be known for if I died tomorrow, the answer made me furious, and it also made me certain. I am so much more than the work I do and this woke me up to all the things I have been putting on the back burner. This diagnosis should feel like a cage. Somehow it feels like permission. If MS has touched your life, my inbox is open. Come find me at www.instagram.com/theamandaswiger.
