Description

While myasthenia gravis, or MG, can make navigating everyday tasks more difficult, it does not have to stop people living with MG from pursuing rich personal and professional lives. In this episode, Felicia and Sean talk about how they both remained driven as leaders in their industries while managing the debilitating condition. Often challenged by her MG symptoms, including vocal fatigue, Felicia learned how to find her voice and use it in new and powerful ways. She was able to build her consulting firm specifically helping entrepreneurs with disabilities start and grow their own businesses. Sean was an award-winning chef when his MG symptoms challenged his highly demanding lifestyle. Being forced to take time off showed him the value of taking breaks and ultimately, Sean learned new ways to be successful and mindful across all aspects of his life. They both share how they gained important lessons and powerful perspectives while learning to live with their MG.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
