Disclosing MS: One Advocate’s Journey from Private to Public – Episode 188

In this episode, host Stephanie Buxhoeveden talks with Kenneth Bandler, a longtime communications professional and MS advocate, about his deeply personal journey with multiple sclerosis and the decision to disclose his diagnosis—first to close family, and years later, to his workplace. Ken shares how he kept his MS private for over a decade, the emotional and professional considerations behind his decision, and the pivotal moment when he finally told his boss. He also reflects on the support he received, the power of storytelling, and how going public ultimately brought relief and connection. This conversation offers insight and encouragement to anyone navigating career and disclosure decisions with MS.
