In this third episode of our Parkinson’s Awareness Month series, we’re focusing on one of the most powerful tools for living well with Parkinson’s: positivity and optimism.
Living with Parkinson’s can be incredibly challenging—but how you approach those challenges mentally and emotionally can make a major difference in your resilience, your daily quality of life, and even how you respond to treatment.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- How optimism rewires your brain to better handle stress
- Simple mindset shifts that can help you build resilience
- Real-life strategies to stay positive—even on tough days
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your journey, this episode offers actionable inspiration to help you stay mentally strong and emotionally grounded.
