When to stop driving a moving vehicle? That is the question to ponder; is it a toss up between being a responsible adult or maintaining a sense of independence? For many people, this is a difficult choice. If you live in an urban or suburban location you may have many options available if you give up driving. For others, a car may be a necessity -- one needed to get to gainful employment, purchase groceries, or use to transport family members more disabled than yourself. In this academic paper, physicians discuss health conditions that predispose patients for difficulties with tasks required for driving a car safely. People with Alzheimer dementia, epilepsy, visual impairments, sleep apnea syndrome, cardiac dysrhythmias, substance dependency, and neurological disorders with a cognitive component are at risk. In this MDA Engage recorded webinar, the presenter shares this factoid -- For every mile driven there are 20 decisions that need to be made and less than ½ second to react This podcast episode explores the decision-making process for podcast host, Leslie Krongold, as well as for guest, Keisha Greaves. Both chose to give up driving before a doctor told them to. If you, or a loved one, are concerned about your current driving skills, take this online assessment to gauge whether or not you should explore driving options. Each U.S. state has unique laws regarding senior and/or drivers with specific disabilities; check what your state has on the books. If you're a caregiver in search of advice for your loved one, check out this U.S. Dept of Transportation website.

What to Listen For: Starting to get weird symptoms in her body The final incident that led her to her diagnosis What life was like prior to her diagnosis Having a passion for fashion from an early age Knowing she wanted to be an entrepreneur from an early age Creating a business plan to launch her own fashion business named after her grandmother Getting her diagnosis and shutting down "I'm thinking, well, she has to have call the wrong patient. Maybe she got the test results mixed up. Maybe she called me by accident, you know, but I knew deep down inside something wasn't right." Googling her diagnosis and what went on in her head Denial and hiding her diagnosis even as she started to use a cane The moment of acceptance "At that moment when I was writing and saying everything out loud, I'm like, wow, I have muscular dystrophy." Finding support on social media Feeling like she's lived in two worlds Still having days of sadness, exhaustion, frustration Don't let social media fool you! The power of connecting with people who have shared experiences "There's nothing. And I mean, nothing, like talking to somebody who gets it knows what it's like living with muscular dystrophy." The difference between talking with a therapist versus talking with a friend or family member The hard pivot after her diagnosis Reaching a point where she wanted not only to put her fashion degree to good use but also to inspire those with chronic illness “My whole new perspective and vision has changed, but still within the fashion industry." The process of learning as she went to get her business started Her goals for the future "I don't just look at it as a Girls Chronically Tock clothing brand, but a Girls Chronically Rock movement."

For today's episode of the podcast, I was joined by CEO & Founder of Girls Chronically Rock and Non-profit org Trust Your Abilities. Her name is Keisha & she was diagnosed with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy at the young age of 23, while attending grad school.. Keisha lived in denial toward her diagnosis for a long time before a friend suggested that she write a blog about her experience. Once Keisha began to write, it became more real for her that she really did have LGMD, but the positive response from her Facebook friends and Tumblr followers sparked a vision inside of her mind to start a clothing line empire that brings awareness to disabilities and chronic illnesses. Keisha now runs her fashion business full time, teaches students about adaptive wear twice a week at the University she graduated from and speaks on many different stages to inspire others. This woman had me ON FIRE! She was absolutely wonderful to talk to & made me feel at home with her personality. If you liked this episode, let us know by reviewing or rating our podcast!

Today’s guest, Keisha Greaves, knows a thing or several about overcoming obstacles. Keisha is a motivational speaker, the founder of Girls Chronically Rock, and the Massachusetts State Ambassador for the MDA. Keisha started GCR to provide inspired fashion celebrating MD and other chronic illnesses. Keisha has been featured on GMA, The Today Show, ABC News, and several other notable news outlets.  When she was in graduate school, Keshia started noticing symptoms that something was wrong. She would randomly fall on the floor, unable to get up. After many tests, she was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and it changed her life forever. It took a while to come to terms with her diagnosis, but when she did, she started her blog Living With Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy to share her story and found a lot of support from people who read it.  She was always a lover of fashion and decided to incorporate her knowledge and expertise with her condition in 2017 to create her business Girls Chronically Rock. With her business, she sells inspirational t-shirts, home decor, masks, and more that inspire and motivate people with chronic diseases like herself. Her goal is to create an adaptive clothing collection to make her clothes more accessible to people with disabilities and make it widely available.  Here’s where you can find more from Keisha:  Website: Girlschronicallyrock.com Facebook: @GirlsChronicallyRock Instagram: @GirlsChronically_Rock Podcast: Girls Chronically Rock Podcast If you need business guidance: Contact Dr. Cortney here Find Dr. Cortney Baker Online Follow Dr. Cortney Baker on LinkedIn Join From Side Hustle to CEO on Facebook Subscribe to Women in Business on Apple Podcasts

Keisha was diagnosed with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (MD) when she was 24 and the diagnosis came from nowhere and completely upended her life.

Although her MD has progressed over the years and getting worse, she has learned to accept it and make certain changes into her life.

In this podcast episode, I am discussing raising funds for an Accessible Vehicle. Even as little as $5 dollars would really make a difference in donating towards my goal. Accessible vehicles are totally expensive, which is ridiculous for the disability community. We want to live independently and live our best lives and go out with family and friends.  Did you know that most disabled Americans have faced - the outright overpriced mobility van market?  The issue is that people face very few funding resources in the USA to cover conversions.  New mobility vans can cost over $70,000. Imagine not leaving your home because you cannot afford transportation.  This is the reality for many disabled Americans. My goal is to purchase this vehicle before my 35th birthday, which is September 5th!

Diagnosed as a graduate student with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, she is now largely wheelchair-bound. As a patient advocate, she worked with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker to have September 30th officially proclaimed as Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Day in the city of Cambridge, MA.

Tune in to get dosed with an infectious amount of joy! Tune in as Keisha shares: that she was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy after an MRI and muscle biopsy that when she was first diagnosed, she knew nothing about her condition that she was very much in denial of her condition early on that muscular dystrophy is a progressive condition, and that her limb-girdle type also affects her heart what muscular dystrophy is that because her condition is progressive, she’s slowly deteriorated physically — beginning at first with a cane, then a walker, and now full-time in a wheelchair how much more independent she is in her wheelchair, which she adopted in 2019 how she’s decorated her wheelchair to customize her appearance how she’s connected with other Spoonies through social media the grieving process of being diagnosed with a progressive and chronic disease how she unwinds why she's still working toward accessibility equity as someone who is wheelchair-bound discrepancies in insurance coverage, from prescriptions to mobility and transportation as a disabled person what’s next in her business: a Girls Chronically Rock adaptive clothing collection her top tips for staying happy and fulfilled when living with a disability
