Episode Synopsis

When you are living with Multiple Sclerosis, how do you know when you need to take on fewer activities? To take a break. To say, “Not today.”



To give yourself permission and just stop.



In this episode, we reflect on these thoughts after a busy month filled with activities—everything from family visiting for a week to undergoing several MS treatments; making a trip back to Iowa to see more family; being interviewed by several media outlets; and attending several baseball games, concerts, and church committee meetings. 



All that, on top of Dan working full-time, Jennifer maintaining our home life with her caregiver Jen, and, oh yeah, both of us living with MS.



Join us in our conversation about how we continually try to know our limits in what we can and can’t do, while granting ourselves the grace to sit things out guilt-free in the name of self-care and investing our time and energy in the moments that matter.
