Talking MS Podcasting with Jess and Emma
Two women, with two very
diagnosis and a desire to help.
Emma is a clinical mid-wife, has two kids (11 and 7 years old) and is an avid runner having completed the London Marathon virtually last year and more recently her 100th Park Run. Symptoms like drop foot, fatigue and heat sensitivity can all threaten to get in the way of her running, but MS hasn’t stopped her from reaching her goals.
Jess is a 27-year-old, new mum diagnosed with MS in 2019 only months after giving birth to her daughter. Jess is studying and planning a career in disability support, specifically for people living with MS. Her goal is to be a life coach for others living with MS, a space to turn to for guidance in the overwhelming stages of a new diagnosis.
The two met when they joined the MS Society’s People Living with MS Committee with a desire to have an impact on the services and supports that people with MS have available to them. Soon they realised a shared passion to do something more to support young people and those newly diagnosed with MS.
