Grace Through Pain

A JOURNEY TO HOPE

I created this podcast for anyone navigating life when your body won't cooperate, but your spirit refuses to quit.

And still, just a woman trying to find peace in a body that doesn’t always listen.

Whether you’ve lived with a chronic illness for years or just heard the words “we found lesions,” this is your space to exhale.

Picture this…

You’re on the floor, literally or emotionally, after a week of flares, meds, and medical bills.
You open your phone. Hit play.
And hear a voice that gets it.

Grace Through Pain is that voice.

Not polished. Not performative. Just raw truth, held with care.

This podcast is where I talk about the unglamorous parts of chronic illness, and the quiet triumphs that come anyway. It’s where I unpack grief and joy in the same breath, and remind us both that we’re still here. Still standing. Still worthy of love, laughter, and good days ahead.

What You’ll Hear

  • Unfiltered stories about life with Multiple Sclerosis.

  • Hard-won tools to cope with fatigue, flares, and emotional burnout.

  • Honest reflections on identity, joy, and how to rewrite the story, even when your body keeps interrupting it.

  • Reminders that you’re not broken. You’re adapting. And you don’t have to do it alone.

  • Navigating a healthcare system that wasn’t built for us.

Grace Through Pain, a podcast born from the need for deeper conversation.

It’s where we talk about navigating life with chronic illness, but also about hope, healing, identity, and finding peace inside the chaos.
