• The realities of living with MS as a mother of two young, active boys
• The daily mindset practices that help her live well with a chronic illness
• The physical symptoms she manages day-to-day, including weakness, spasticity, and bladder issues
• What changes when you stop trying to be the good girl
• How to grieve the life you used to have while learning to love the one you have now

Tamsen also opens up about the eating disorder she quietly struggled with in her early 20s and her marriage to a narcissist that took years to recover from.If you've ever carried something in silence because you were afraid of being judged or dismissed, you need to listen to this episode.
