What if you were to step into the shower one day and your whole life changes before your eyes?
How does silently suffering with a debilitating illness impact our life and careers?
Here in the episode Karen shares with us her own journey from leaving a high-flying corporate career and struggling through a journey where she was faced with the heartbreaking journey of losing her own financial independence.
Karen shares with us the struggles she faced in her family as she watched her health decline and how she fought to educate, empower and establish a new sense of identity.
In this episode we dig deep into Karen’s journey and cover
· The struggle to maintain the façade at work while crumbling at home
· Learning to manage her own anxiety around her illness.
· What it means to manage a family whilst bearing the weight of diagnosis
· Overcoming her own victimhood to find new purpose
· How she was able to reduce lesions and triumph through education
Karen shares with us her journey to not only triumph from her illness but also how it gave her purpose and drive to bring together a global health program of experts to change the diagnosis journey for MS sufferers.
Her mission has only just begun to change the way that we treat health diagnosis.
