Sarah talks about how her career in the law doesn't always fit with having MS. Sarah talks about being able to define the difference between ‘new family' tiredness and MS fatigue. Living with almost completely invisible symptoms is a battle in working in the legal profession, from finishing work earlier that traditional legal profession hours, not wearing high heels and working through cognitive issues. Sarah talks about how beneficial is has been to opening her own business and managing her MS. There's a lot of gems in this episode and I really hope at least one of them lands for you.
