065 - Multiple Sclerosis Stop Working - Real Life 1

In this episode Bron chats to 2 guests, Roger Cook and Maddy Baxter. Both guests have had to face stopping working in their previous jobs. The discussion centres around how people arrive at retirement decisions or shifts in career direction as they try to combine MS with working. It also considers how you might feel about that decision and how this change can redefine your purpose in life as you prioritise your own wellness.

Roger has been living with his life change for over 15 years whereas Maddy was only diagnosed 6 months ago and her decisions are very immediate as she considers the possibilities of self employment.

Today's guests:

Roger Cook, who was diagnosed early in his working career. After working in industry and attempting to take on a franchise, Roger is now effectively retired on medical grounds but volunteers with the MS Society and as an expert patient.

Maddy Baxter has worked in accountancy at a local authority for 20 years before being diagnosed relatively recently. Maddy is thinking about planning her future and considering what work options might be available if she becomes self-employed.
