Episode 368: Living a More Purposeful Life with MS with Dr. Evan Smith

Living with the unpredictability of MS sometimes feels like riding a rollercoaster. As you experience the twists and turns of life with MS, you can sometimes feel unmoored from the person you thought you were. You can sense your priorities, motivations, and values shifting. And, in those moments, it becomes easy to lose your sense of purpose.

Clinical assistant professor and rehabilitation psychologist at the University of Michigan, Dr. Evan Smith, joins me to discuss how to identify and reconnect with your core values and live a more purposeful and satisfying life.

We'll also tell you about Creating Order, an art exhibit featuring 12 artists living with MS. (Don't miss our conversation with the co-curators and lead artist in this unique exhibit!)

And we're sharing the details of MS Stand Up, a night of comedy and cocktails at the Gotham Comedy Club.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
