  • Thank you so much for tuning in today. I am interviewing a guest that we have previously had on The MSing Link podcast because she has such a powerful story, but also has something new up her sleeve that I just think the whole world should know about. I'm interviewing Julie Stamm. On today's episode, we talk about her book that normalizes differing abilities and amplifies how each of us can thrive in spite of challenges, and her newest creation, 52 Essential Inclusion Skills, which come in an inclusion deck.

    Julie Stamm was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2007. Following her diagnosis, Julie made it her mission to educate, advocate, and support others battling chronic illnesses. She works tirelessly to help lessen the burden each patient has to bear. Her efforts have given her the opportunity to work with physicians, patients, and foundations across the Globe.

    After the birth of her son in 2016, Julie shifted her focus to supporting the children of parents with a chronic illness. Her children’s book entitled “Some Days: A tale of love, ice cream, and my mom’s chronic illness” was created to normalize differing abilities and amplify how each of us can thrive in spite of the challenges. In 2023, Julie co-created ‘52 Essential Inclusion Skills - An A to Z Guide to Kindness, Compassion, and Respect for Diverse Abilities’ with Mind Brain Parenting’s, Dr. Jenny Woo. The movement Julie has created has changed the apologetic tone and transformed the child and parent’s experiences into uplifting stories that highlight the patient’s resilience. Julie is committed to representing the underrepresented. Through her work, she has brought awareness and understanding to some of the many diverse abilities that can impact all of our lives, either directly or indirectly.

  • One question that I am asked frequently is, "What can someone expect physically, mentally, and emotionally after going through any of my programs or courses like The Missing Link?"  So, instead of hearing it from me I wanted you to hear from one of my more recent clients that I have had the honor of working one on one with. We were actually only working together for just three months, and I think you'll find her story, her journey, and her symptoms that are now leading to improvements really motivating!

Tyler invented a shoe that was designed to help people who trip when they're walking, reduce their tripping or even avoid it, and increase their walking speed. His background is in mechanical engineering, robotics, and neurotherapy, and he's applied his knowledge and expertise into this shoe.

  • This topic that we're going to discuss is all about finding something that works for you to relieve some stress that you might be feeling. And If you have MS, please know that you likely might be in a state of constant stress, even if it's not high stress, it might be so low that you don't recognize it, but simply because your body is fighting a disease. So having a strategy to implement consistently to reduce your stress levels can be immensely important and almost integral in reducing some of your symptoms.

  • About a month or so ago, I posted on social media about the topic of clonus in multiple sclerosis. And to my surprise, a lot of people didn't know what it was, and they were hearing about it for the first time. So I wanted to turn it into an episode for you and first explain what it is and how to fix it, because it's one of those rare symptoms in MS where you actually. can fix it!
