This podcast is the second episode in our two part 2019 Embracing Carers Series!

Are you someone who provides support to a loved one living with MS? As a support partner, you often focus solely on the needs of your loved one with MS, but it’s important to recognize the unique needs support partners have, too. How can you ensure that both you and your loved one living with MS have their needs addressed? What strategies lead to a successful partnership while navigating the challenges of MS?

Join physical therapist Mandy Rohrig and couple Dave and Laura as they discuss how Dave’s MS diagnosis has changed the dynamics of their relationship over time. They recently celebrated their 31st anniversary, but Dave’s diagnosis came after being married for several years. Listen as they dissect what and how things have changed between them, and how having a thorough understanding of your partner can make all the difference.

The podcast is a bit lengthy at 40 minutes, but it does go into a bunch of stories, including how we met, my failed attempt at cleaning up a dead spider, and of course beer and Cheetos get mentions.

Hope someone gives it a listen on a road trip. The recording can be downloaded onto your phone for just such occasions!
