“What stands in the way becomes the way.”
– Marcus Aurelius
When I was diagnosed with MS, a storm of emotions hit me like a freight train — fear, sorrow, disbelief. I mourned the version of me I thought I lost… I still do..
There were moments when I felt like damaged goods, unsure of what my future held.
But then I remembered:
This isn’t the end of my story — it’s the turning point.
MS doesn’t define who I am.
It challenged me to reimagine how I live, work, and show up in the world — and I accepted that challenge head-on.
I began to rebuild.
✅ I restarted my business with purpose.
✅ I created a new path that honors my strengths.
✅ I stopped apologizing for my limits and started owning my fire.
And that fire? It lit during one of my lowest moments — Christmas Eve 2024 — when the pain was so intense I couldn’t even eat.
That’s a big deal in an Italian family.
But instead of breaking, I wrote.
I created.
I chose to move Forward with Fire. 🔥
MS isn’t just physical.
It’s emotional. It’s invisible. It’s unpredictable.
But it’s also a lens — one that’s sharpened my clarity, deepened my empathy, and given me a strength I never knew I had.
For years, I pushed through unexplained fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety in high-stress environments — thinking I just had to “try harder.”
Now I understand: I wasn’t weak. I was fighting a battle I couldn’t name.
Today, I’m not fighting MS — I’m partnering with my reality.
Adapting. Evolving. Leading.
I may have MS…
But MS doesn’t have me.
To every MS Warrior reading this — I see you.
Keep moving forward. Keep showing up.
Our fire doesn’t fade. That’s our strength. That’s our fire.
🔥 Forward with Fire. 🔥
