My guest, Lynne Smith and I went to high school together and had gone to the same dance studio in our early years. We reconnected at our 40th School Reunion and became friends again via Facebook. It was only recently that I discovered, Lynne had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 33. When I saw a Facebook post of her swimming with sharks (in a controlled environment of course), travelling and enjoying life I was amazed and knew I wanted her to share her story with my listeners.During the episode Lynne and I discussed:* Lynne's diagnosis with MS at age 33* Her resilience and reinvention* The power of a positive mindsent* How MS hasn't held her back because of her determintaion* Her work as an MS ambassador working with politicians to spread the word of MS Watch on YoutubeMeet LynneBorn in Sydney March 1958 to a Self-employed builder and a homemaker.I matriculated in 1975 but was discouraged from pursuing advanced education and attended Miss Hales Business College instead.I knew I was never going to be someone's secretary but in fact it led to my first overseas adventure, when I applied for and attained a position of Cruise Hostess on the MV Turkenia, a Russian cruise ship that sailed a Ship/Jet route from Freemantle to Singapore. I was 18.A couple of years later I wanted to earn some money (to travel to England) so started working as a waitress in Sydney. I earned the money and went to England but in the meantime, I had met a chef…Forward to 1978 and we opened our first restaurant (Manly Sydney). I combined my business and hospitality skills and learnt that all knowledge is useful. Also that I had my father's self employment genes).We went on to open three restaurants over several years and life proceeded until I became unwell and was diagnosed with MS in 1991. I was 33 yrs old.Of course that changed everything, personally and professionally. It was very difficult to adjust from busy busy busy to nothing and accept that I needed help with things that I had taken for granted. It took some years and professional psychological help to learn how to live in my new lifeI had to deal with my diagnosis and prognosis whilst we continued our profession. Although I had staff it became apparent that our future would be different and we sold up and changed professions.Whilst I adjusted to my new life that slowed me down and I learnt to accept the changes, my husband learnt how to become an internet service provider. By then we lived on the central coast and the industry was just beginning to expand. We eventually went on to own 5 mobile phone shops.By 2010 my health was stabilising. I was not involved in the business but needed something to challenge me. As my dogs had passed away (We do not have children) I decided to start a dog minding business that involved minding dogs in our home. I knew I had the business and hospitality skills to adapt to this growing industry.When I sold the business in 2022 I had 12 minders around the coast so those skills from Miss Hales in 1976 helped all my professional life!We were ready to retire and we now travel as much as we can and enjoy our home, friends and extended family.Fortunately I have been stable for some time and that means I can function reasonably well (now diagnosed 34 years). I can walk unaided for short distances and run my home with help from a cleaner. I enjoy exercise with my MS friends and attend ScubGym classes weekly that helps to keep up my stamina, strength and flexibility.We have a small teardrop van and we like to travel around Australia (state by state). We also enjoy cruising when possible.I've always been a positive person and was taught to make the most of a situation. I've done that to the best of my ability.Lynne, is truly an inspirational woman and I very much enjoyed chatting with her.Thanks for reading Women Living Well After 50 with Sue Loncaric!

In this episode, we are sharing highlights from our webinar, ‘Movement and Breathing Better whilst Living Well with Overcoming MS' with Gillian Robinson. Gillian is a physiotherapist at the MS Therapy Centre in Lothian, Scotland. She discusses how MS affects breathing, how to breathe better and the importance of physical activity for people with MS. This webinar was recorded as part of our Finding Hope with Overcoming MS webinar series. Watch the original webinar here. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways and Gillian's bio. Topics and Timestamps 00:57 Why and how we should breathe. 04:22 How MS can affect respiration.   09:13 Consequences of ineffective breathing. 11:00 Monitoring and slowing your breathing helps with fatigue and stress management. 14:05 Posture and nasal breathing are important. 20:19 Deep breathing exercises can be part of your meditation practice to strengthen respiratory muscles. 27:23 Benefits of exercise for people with MS. 33:00 Include both aerobic and anaerobic activities in your routine. 36:38 Vestibular retraining, physiotherapy, Tai Chi and Thera Bands can be helpful for people with MS. 38:16 Breathing exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor and abdominals. 40:06 Virtual reality and visualisation can both be used to improve wellbeing. 41:53 Noticing your breathing is the first step to improving it. Selected Key Takeaways Breathing can be affected by MS, so it's important to keep active to strengthen muscles in the respiratory system. 04:24 “It's only in recent years that it's been demonstrated that the respiratory system can be affected quite early on in MS. I think most of us are aware that it can be affected in the more advanced stages of MS. [These early effects are] logical really, as we know that muscle strength can be affected by MS in the disease process itself, as wherever your lesions are, they can cause muscle weakness in the rest of our body. So, it makes sense that it will cause muscle weakness in our respiratory system. Not only is this primary weakness a result of the MS itself, but if you're not using [your] muscles and reducing levels of activity, you can develop secondary weakness or deconditioning.” Nasal breathing is really important for optimal health.17:17 “Nasal Breathing is really important. We know that chronic mouth breathing can cause problems with your respiratory system and your lung function and certainly impair the effectiveness of your breathing. You can get dental problems by breathing through your mouth, and you're losing 40% more moisture than you do by breathing through your nose.” Visualisation whilst breathing can help strengthen muscles. 41:00 “An interesting bit of research out there shows that through visualisation activities alone, you can improve muscle strength. So, if you struggle with activity and getting your body moving, visualise activities that you might enjoy. The more detail that you can add to your mental imagery, the better and the more likelihood of success. Just try to bring your awareness of your breath. We've talked about how important breathing technique and exercising your respiratory muscles is.If your breathing is optimised, it most definitely has a knock-on effect on your wider wellbeing.” Noticing your breathing is the first step to improving it.42:39 "Notice your breathing responses during activity, so notice what your breathing patterns do. Do you start to get more shallow as you get more effortful? Do you start to breathe through your mouth? Be more mindful of how your breathing responds to activity."

On Friday, 11/18/22, a federal judge sentenced Elizabeth Holmes to over eleven years in prison.  Ms. Holmes was convicted after trial of a "fake it 'till you make it" fraud involving her company Theranos, and the revolutionary blood testing technology dream machine that was not to be.  There are many lessons we can learn from what went down last week, so, helping us get Set For Sentencing, our old friend and guidelines expert, Mark Allenbaugh.  Mark and I break down what it was, what it could have been, and what comes next.    We also veer a way off the path, with admittedly wild speculation about whether Elizabeth Holmes may be on the Autism Spectrum, and if so, how that would have put her entire mitigation narrative in a different light. So, surf's up.  Let's ride the wave of this consequential current sentencing event, and take away some practical tips for your own case in the process.  In this episode:  How Ms. Holmes won the day when it came to the guidelines calculation; How much time she may actually serve given "good time"credit, First Step Act credits, compassionate release, and 1/2 way house options; Comparing the government's narrative with the defense narrative - which narrative was more compelling and why; Breaking down the opening paragraphs of the government and defense sentencing memoranda; “Shirley's Law” and the need to take control of the narrative; Whether 130 character letters is too much of a good thing; A wacky theory about Autism. LINKS: www.sentencingstats.com We talked oh-so briefly about two other current events, the special counsel appointment for Trump and the fact that the Oath Keeper/Stewart Rhodes Jury is now deliberating. Mark and I have previously done podcast episodes on both topics, so here are links to those shows: MAR-A-LA-GOING TO PRISON? SEDITION EDITION: POTENTIAL OUTCOMES IN STEWART RHODES SEDITION TRIAL Autism:  I mistakenly said 1/8 people have an autism diagnosis.  Way off.  It's more like 1/44.  BUT, that's still alot.  It means we've had clients with Autism Spectrum Disorder and We probably missed it.  If you want to learn more, here's a prior episode on that too:  UNDERTANDING AUTISM AT SENTENCING "Shirley's Law": If you don't control the narrative, someone else will and you will NOT like it!  This comes from Dr. Randy Olson, and it's in the book we co-authored on legal storytelling, The Narrative Gym for Law, available on AMAZON. And, last but not least, I talked a fair amount (again) about my "3Rs of Sentencing Storytelling".  These are the three major categories of stories any defendant can (and must tell) on their big day.  If you'd like to download a FREE copy of the article I wrote on the subject, from NACDL's The Champion magazine, visit the shownotes on my website for this episode: https://dougpassonlaw.com/podcast/elizabeth-holmes-sentencing-post-mortem/

What happens if you become a Solo Ager later in life? How does this happen? How does this affect you toward the end of your life? And what are some consequences to your probate estate? Let's review “Ms. B.'s” situation and discuss. How Ms. B. became a Solo Ager late in life Ms. B. was married with a daughter, so she was not your typical Solo Ager. Her adult daughter moved far away out of state. The daughter was not quite estranged, but not much involved either. They stayed in touch and were friendly, but the daughter was effectively estranged, as she was not there to see to her mother's care. Then, Ms. B.'s husband got sick and passed faster than anyone expected. So, Ms. B. was alone, rather unexpectedly. Ms. B. did not have a solo-ager plan, or a support network established, because she did not expect to be in this situation. How Ms. B. got a court-appointed guardian As is common, sadly, soon after her husband passed, Ms. B. degraded physically and mentally. As mentioned earlier, because she didn't expect to be a Solo Ager, Ms. B. had no support network. Once she was hospitalized, there was no one to whom the hospital could release her. So, she was shuffled from rehab to a nursing home. Wanting to go home and understandably frustrated, she was deemed “uncooperative.” This led the nursing home to petition the court for a guardian appointed for Ms. B. (a court-appointed stranger). The court-appointed guardian was a nice attorney, but he had never met Ms. B. before. Now, this court-appointed guardian is responsible for carrying out her wishes, and he understandably has no idea what those wishes are. His job is to help her get out of the nursing home and to keep the nursing home from compelling her to take medication that she didn't want. Unfortunately, the guardian was unable to remove Ms. B. from the nursing home before she passed away. Why a court-appointed guardian makes probate harder Though Ms. B.'s court-appointed stranger was a nice, professional attorney, he had no prior relationship with Ms. B. As with most guardianships, there is a disjoin between the guardian (who has control of the funds) and the estate. The guardian, upon Ms. B,'s death, has to make sure the court approves of how he conducted himself during Ms. B.'s life. The guardian has to keep records of how the money was controlled and spent under the guardianship. If the court approves of how the guardian conducted himself, then the guardian gets released. This may sound simple, but we're talking about a check register that could span a few years. (When we saw Ms. B.'s register, it was pretty thick). Also keep in mind that Ms. B. was not his only client; he probably has dozens of others. The accounting procedure could take months or years after the client passes away. During this time, the executor (me, in this case) and the heirs are stuck waiting. There are things we need to take care of, and that is hard to do without knowing about or having access to the estate's funds. For example, Ms. B.'s apartment needed repairs to leaks and mold, as well as some renovations just to get it ready for sale. The accounts are stuck with the guardian until the accounting is complete. Until then, the executor has to bootstrap and even take out loans to take care of the necessary expenses. How can one avoid this situation? If you even suspect that a guardian may soon be required or forced upon you, then you should make a revocable trust. When creating a revocable trust, YOU choose the trustee who will manage your funds. Secondly, it's a seamless transition from the person managing your money while you were alive to the same person managing your money after your death. Lastly, this could help avoid court delays during probate. I hope this helps you understand what could happen if you become a Solo Ager late in life.

Welcome friends, I hope you are feeling well today.  My guest this week is singer/songwriter Curtis Culley.  I have invited Curtis on the podcast to talk us through what it is like to be young, ambitious and driven despite living with Multiple Sclerosis and other health conditions.   In this episode we get a look inside the struggles, the journey, the treatment and Curtis explains so much about how this demyelinating disease works. Curtis has had to learn to play guitar again, working around nerve damage caused by the MS and I'm pleased to share, he has developed a new found freedom with his voice.   Positivity and speaking out from young people always impresses me and fills me with hope!  This young mans outlook and dedication to his practice, doing what he can to work around new symptoms every day, is incredibly inspiring.  Some of his songs have already been signed and released by other artists and he has now returned to writing original material, after many years of singing covers, which we will follow with keen interest, and share with posts on our Facebook group page when it lands. With regards to the singers that inspire Curtis, check out Daughtry - Witness (stripped) Dan + Shay ft. Justin Bieber - 10,000 Hours Fun ft.
