When she was 17 years old, San Diego author Jennifer Gasner was diagnosed with Friedreich’s Ataxia or FA, a rare progressive neuromuscular disease. The impact of FA varies from person to person, but generally causes difficulty walking, a loss of coordination and impaired speech. Initially, Jennifer was shocked and in denial about her diagnosis and, at times, used alcohol as a way to cope, but ultimately decided to live her life with joy. She chronicles her journey in her book, My Unexpected Life: Finding Balance Beyond My Diagnosis. On this episode of SoCal Voices, Jennifer shares how she’s living her life with determination, humor and a positive attitude.Resources:Visit Jennifer’s website: https://jennifergasner.com/Get the book at Amazon, Books a Million, Barnes & Nobel or Warwick’sFollow Jennifer Gasner:Instagram: @jennygwriterLike the episode?Share it on social media and tag @socalvoices Enjoy the show?Leave a 5-Star review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Angela Ross:Send an email to meReach out to me on LinkedInSupport the show
