W.T.F., I Have MS? — Chris Brown’s Story
Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of depression, alcohol misuse, and suicidal thoughts, which may be distressing for some listeners.
Just three months after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Chris Brown sits down with us to talk about the weight of a life that hasn’t let up. He’s faced childhood trauma, infertility, the loss of triplets, depression, and addiction. And now, MS.
In this conversation, Chris shares what it’s like to process a life-changing diagnosis in real time. He speaks openly about fear, identity, fatherhood, and the quiet exhaustion of always having to adapt. He also talks about the choice to speak up, even when the path forward is still uncertain.
“If by hearing my story, it gives someone some hope… I feel like I have an obligation to do that.” — Chris Brown
This episode is not about closure. It’s about what it looks like in the middle of the storm.
