139: “We don’t grow in the good times. We grow during challenges.” FSHD Straight Talk with Dr. Jennifer Egert

Join host Tim Hollenback for a heartfelt and honest conversation with returning guest, Dr. Jennifer Egert. A licensed clinical psychologist living with FSHD, Egert guides Tim through her own reflections on decreased mobility, clinical trial participation, connection with others, and the importance of quieting the world around us so we can think and breathe. Winter encourages us to hibernate and rest. Take a deep breath and shift yourself towards a more mindful season. No one knows the experience of living with FSHD better than those who have it. FSHD Straight Talk features stories of life with this rare disease. Tune in to learn from, laugh, celebrate and sometimes grieve with fellow members of the FSHD community. Whatever your journey, we hope you’ll find yourself in these episodes and know you are not alone. 

On the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, listen for a new episode of FSHD Straight Talk with Tim Hollenback! These episodes highlight members of the FSHD Community who are living rich, full lives and diving into their experiences with FSHD.
