But let's be real, MS presents difficulties. Having hope that things will get better, that there is love and kindness in the world, and that hope is in each of us makes a difference for the good. We can not hope blindly. We have to choose a course of action and stick to it. Despite the delays and setbacks along the journey hope carries us along while ersisting with an adventurous course of action. I call it a gritty hope.
These are the words of Justine Calcagno who was diagnosed with MS in 2016. She is an ultrarunning non-profit researcher with a Ph.D. in psychology. She is passionate about trail running, outdoor pursuits, yoga, cycling, and supporting and empowering others, particularly women and feminine-identified people.
Her approach to living with MS is a combination of embodiment and evidence. She hopes that she can inspire others to identify their challenges to overcome and become more joyful and confident through the process of achieving their goals. She also an advocate through the MS Society. Since having MS, Justine has experimented on herself as an "N of 1". She is committed to a plant-based (vegan) and alcohol-free diet.

What is your greatest fear? Before MS, mine was probably superficial. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that something or someone is dangerous and likely to cause pain (physical, emotional, etc.). Fear can be intense and sometimes overpower us if we don't have the tools to work through the emotions it brings. Mary Virgi does not let fear hold her back! She leans into her core values of family and faith to climb out of negative spaces. At the time we recorded this, Mary was 14 weeks pregnant. And releasing this episode she is now about to have her baby. She is surely thriving! Let's chat it up with Mary!

Is the outcome of our multiple sclerosis diagnosis all about luck? It is difficult to think that we have no control over whether or not our disease progresses. Dominic "Dom" Shadbolt believes just that though. Whatever he believes about the progression of his own MS, he lives his life by a particular rule; Treat others the way you want to be treated, period. Can't we all just be good people and be kind to one another? At least how we treat others is within our control. Let's also treat ourselves well too, please.
Check out Dom's website and YouTube page. He has some very helpful resources there that might get you thinking.

Alexis Martinez first appeared on TOSP in Episode 71. She shared what it was like for her to manage her own MS and care for her mother who has early onset Alzheimers. This time we discussed her new job and how taking on something new has impacted her daily life and self-worth. Now that I've gotten to meet Alexis in person, it no longer felt like an interview. It was more like catching up with my friend.
