Managing MS, Motherhood, and the Moments Between with Shantuana Bryant

What does motherhood look like when you're also navigating life with Multiple Sclerosis? In this deeply personal episode of Coffee with Yvonne, Shantuana Bryant joins Yvonne for coffee to share her journey of living with MS as a wife and a mother, offering a vulnerable and empowering look at what it means to parent through uncertainty, grace, and strength.

We dive into the realities of her daily routines, her initial fears after diagnosis, and the creative ways she conserves energy while still showing up as the mom she wants to be. Shantuana talks candidly about the importance of self-care, the support of her village, and what she hopes her daughter learns from watching her live boldly with a chronic condition.

Whether you're living with MS, parenting through health challenges, or simply need a reminder that you're doing your best, you'll find connection and encouragement in this conversation.
