EP 33: Life With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - You Are Strong Author, Jen Albertson

In this episode of the Mom Betch Podcast, Jen Albertson opens up about her journey with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the myriad challenges she has faced both before and after her diagnosis. Jen delves into how MS has affected her physical and mental health, as well as its impact on her personal and professional life.

Being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis was a pivotal moment in her life. The neurologist told her she would be in a wheelchair within five years. But she refused to let that be her story. Jen's message is clear: don't let chronic illness define you, stop you, or take over your life. 

She believes in the power of positive thinking and emphasizes that your thoughts and beliefs can have a powerful impact on your life. Jen invites listeners to navigate this journey together. Find "My Life With MS" wherever you get your podcasts. Coming soon.
