Dave: Fighting Back Against MS

After years of unexplained symptoms, Dave was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He lost his career, much of his independence, and the confidence he once had in who he was.

Then he got on a bicycle.

What started as a miserable five-mile ride eventually became 100-mile rides, a way to rebuild his confidence, and proof that his life could still keep moving forward.

In this episode, Dave and Ariel talk about what happens when life changes the version of yourself you thought you were going to be, and how small acts of progress can help you discover what is still possible.

You’ll hear about:

• Rebuilding confidence after life changes in ways you never expected

• Taking action even when you do not feel motivated

• Learning to focus on what you can control

• Surrounding yourself with people who believe in what is possible for you

• Finding purpose beyond your career or the identity you once had

Dave’s story is a reminder that moving forward does not always mean getting your old life back. Sometimes it means discovering who you can become from here.
