How Our Approach to Living With Parkinson's Changes as It Gets Harder
Fri Jan 09 2026
In this episode of the Parkinson's Podcast Unfiltered, the group is joined by a special guest to respond to a listener's question about how their relationship with Parkinson's has changed over time. Together, they talk through the different ways they have named and understood Parkinson's since diagnosis, including ideas of fighting, endurance, acceptance, and daily negotiation.
The conversation moves between personal stories, practical coping strategies, and reflections on how identity, energy, and priorities shift as symptoms progress. Rather than settling on one way of framing Parkinson's, the episode explores how those frames evolve.
