Eight words that completely changed how I see the world. At sixteen, I thought I was invincible. Life was steady, clear, predictable—until it wasn’t. An MRI, a rare diagnosis, surgeries, and silence. In an instant, I became the .03% Now, when I see someone walking a harder road—struggling in ways I may not understand—I don’t judge. Because I know how quickly life can turn. How one moment, one diagnosis, one unexpected twist can rewrite everything. These eight words taught me compassion. They rem

McKinnon Galloway is living with a genetic condition called #NF2, which causes benign tumors to grow on her nerves and brain. She has lost her hearing, has facial paralysis, has survived multiple brain surgeries, and faces it all with bravery and often, with humor. We talk about her infectious joy in the midst of the hard life she has endured, and she opens up about her father’s alcoholism, and his death.

Osteo Cervical Pillow Neck pillow needed for EVERYONE (link in bio) Looking down at phones, sitting at monitors, watching tv a lot of our necks are being strained not just those who have neck issues. Mine is due to my paralysis and it tightened throughout the night (headed back to physical therapy 😭) but this pillow is awesome. Everyone’s head is a lot heavier than you think (like 9 lbs - think bowling ball) and it’s a lot for your neck to support. Anyways something that’s helped me maybe can h

Over 50 MRIs later here is what I’ve learned… More tips below ⬇️ (products in Amazon store- link in bio) ⭐️ wear comfy clothing | no metal (Grab some fuzzy socks if you can!) ⭐️ biofreeze patches ⭐️ eye drops - preservative free. I like systane - longer MRIs I will use gel (preservative free systane) ⭐️ washcloth over the eyes ⭐️ padding on your elbows.
