Practical Innovators are entrepreneurs who don’t have the luxury of quitting. People depend on us — financially, emotionally, spiritually. And no matter what life throws
Every March, we shine a light on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – a disease that affects over 1 million people in the U.S. alone. But MS Awareness Month isn’t just
An Anthem for People with Disabilities, Especially Autoimmune Warriors. This one’s for us – the fighters, the warriors, the survivors. The ones carrying invisible battles
“I just had to let it go.” 🧡 – John Lennon, Watching the Wheels
That line hit me like a freight train the first time I really heard this song after my Dx.
And honestly, this post is aligned with every lyric.
This song is my anthem… maybe play it when you’re reading this for full effect.
Because that’s exactly how it felt when I finally come out publicly about my MS Dx…. letting go of the life I thought I had to live.
For years, people probably thought I was crazy… or lazy.
Truth is maybe they didn’t, but I did:
→ Crashing early.
→ Saying no to plans.
→ Needing rest while everyone else kept going.
None of that sits well when you’re wired to compete…
Highly social, driven, in sales… running hard at everything.
I carried that guilt for too long – until I finally understood what was really happening to me.
→ I wasn’t done.
→ I wasn’t weak.
→ I was just playing the wrong game.
MS forced me to let go:
→ Of the career path I was on.
→ Of the unrealistic expectations…. mine and everyone else’s.
And here’s what I learned:
→ It’s not the end.
→ It’s a new game.
And honestly? I like this version a lot better.
Because now:
âś… I show up as my authentic self – every.single day.
✅ I’m an entrepreneur with MS…. and that’s my superpower.
✅ I stopped chasing what doesn’t serve me.
âś… I rebuilt Lobo IT and doing sales for great companies aligned with my mission – creating relatable MS awareness through Entrepreneurship, Sales, and Technology.
I created my own new big time.
And here’s why I’m sharing this for you:
If you’re facing your own shift – health, career, or life, you need to hear this:
→ There’s no problem.. only solutions.
→ There’s no race…. you get to build your own path.
→ Believe in yourself… you are more powerful than you think.
When you stop chasing what no longer fits…
You create space for what does.
→ There’s power in slowing down.
→ There’s clarity in watching the wheels turn.
→ And there’s freedom in letting go of the merry-go-round you were never meant to ride forever.
I’m beyond grateful for everyone who is part of this journey – my family, friends, LinkedIn community, IT Channel, and Team Lobo.
→ You can’t do this alone.
→ Let me say that again… you cannot do this alone.
