The Point of Pain


Sep 1, 2019

I met Eliz Martin in the fall of 2018 at a dinner where we were both asked to speak about our health journeys, and I’ve admired her ever since. After I began following her on Instagram, I was even more blown away by her raw, unapologetic vulnerability and the way she shared about her health story.

Eliz was abruptly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about seven years ago and she’s now a chronic disease and disability advocate. Her favorite way of advocating is sharing how to “live limitlessly even while limited.”

In this episode, Liz talks about her health journey and what it was like to receive that diagnosis in her early 20’s. We also talk about toxic positivity, the ways that we’ve both learned to work with our bodies’ limitations, the ways we’ve learned to lean on medications at times and then not, and so much more.
