We discuss his life before, when he was a radio presenter and the crazy things he got up to during that time.During the diagnosis, as in, what the symptoms where that led him to see a doctor and then about the lesions that started forming on his brain, the myelin disintegrating and how Vitamin D changed his world. And finally, current day conversations about his book, the lifestyle choices he makes to prolong the MS taking over and what his life is like in a wheelchair.A link to Kim's website is herehttps://www.krcurry.com/If you would like to donate to the running of the podcast and leave an energetic exchange that would be completely wonderful.https://tinyurl.com/366hv625You can get my book here as a paperback or audio or e book, which is a raw and honest dialogue of how I went from completely using allopathic medicine to manage a diagnosis of epilepsy, to only using a small amount of medicine and managing the rest with lifestyle choices and other wonderful plant medicines and supplementshttps://lainiechait.com.au/shop-main/If you have a story that you think other people will benefit from and you would like to be on the podcast then contact me at electrogirl55@gmail.com orFind me on FBhttps://www.facebook.com/lainie.chaitA little side note:I am not a practitioner of health professional.

Kim and I discuss why Kim became a teacher, what makes a good educator, growth and self-perception, household expectations, the difference between learning and getting A’s, what Kim would change in classrooms if she were the Secretary of Education, and how Kim has seen the behavior of children and parents, as well as her own behavior, change over the course of her 19 years of teaching. We also address tact and empathy, how the digital world seems to be affecting relationship building and emotional development among middle school children, the importance of learning how to make mistakes, how hope and passion tend to get tempered by realism in adulthood, the importance of school culture, and misperceptions around teaching. There are some cute and amazing stories about kids too!

This is Episode 69 of the VulnerABLE Podcast! Being diagnosed with MS would make him completely lose himself, and be lost in anger and pain. Now he's reinventing himself and finding ways to live with his condition, and take back control! When he moved to a small town in Colorado at 10 years old, he didn’t exactly fit in. Growing up he had moved around a lot, and this little town felt very different and weird in some ways. Having a name like Kim didn’t help matters because in those days it was seen as a girls name, and this would cause him to get beat up and bullied quite a bit. At an early age he’d find his confidence when he got a job as a DJ at a radio station. He would stay in this industry for over 30 years, and he loved it dearly. Then in December of 2004 he would start to notice some changes in his sight and body, which he would blame on the stress of his job. A few months later he would be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and his life would be completely flipped upside down. At first it made him bitter and angry, as it was hard to go from someone who was always in control to someone who was losing it. Now he’s taken back control of his life, and although he can’t cure his condition he does what he can to keep it at bay. He’s also become an author, and is continuing to re-invent himself.
