    Thanks for this perfect podcast at a perfect time, after 5 weeks of being newly diagnosed with MS. As a working 38 yr old mum of 2, a lover of podcasts and someone with a big life like all of us, this will be so helpful to understanding how I can start adjusting to a more sustainable life, living with MS. Just really nice to be here so many others stories and what’s worked for them.Thank you Clare!!

  • A reassuring and honest podcast

    I arrived here because of my undiagnosed health issues. I don’t even know if I have MS but i have still got a lot out of this podcast. Clare is lovely, likeable and connects enthusiastically with all her guests. If I turn out to have MS it already seems a lot less scary a prospect because of the brilliant people on this podcast. Thanks, Clare.
