In today's episode, Jodi and I get to check in with Ardra Shephard about the engaging complexities of her intriguing new book, aptly titled, Fall-osophy, My Trip through Life with MS. You may think you already know Ardra from her award-winning blog, Tripping on Air, her social media content, or her popular podcast, but, trust us, if you REALLY want to know her, you need to place this revealing page-turner of a memoir on your shopping list. Until then Jodi, Ardra and I are going to give you a glimpse of what you can expect.

EPISODE NOTES:

  • Her personal journey on her blog and social media being only a fraction of what is captured in her book
  • The book making Ardra more 3D
  • Both newbies and veterans of MS will resonate with the content
  • This book is about way more than just a woman with MS
  • A movie in the making
  • Her goal with the book
  • Deciding what's humiliating
  • When her condition is finally given a label
  • The worst symptom of MS…fear or guilt
  • Looking cool while using mobility aids
  • Her first MS DMD
  • Dr. Muppet. What was he thinking?
  • Ardra's HSCT saga
  • Relief when your MS symptoms become visible
  • When co-workers question the validity of your condition
  • The “C” word. It's not what you think.
  • Reminding ourselves of our value
  • Being recognized for our contribution to relationships
  • Disability decor
  • Serenity is for quitters
  • On dating
  • Passing muster with potential in-laws
  • Instilling self worth in a loved one
  • Raising the bar for other MS advocates
  • The love story woven throughout the book
