Park Right Here is an informational—and hopefully entertaining—podcast about Parkinson’s disease, shared through my lived experience walking this journey.
But this podcast is about more than Parkinson’s.
My desire is to offer hope, honest conversation, and connection to people with Parkinson’s (PWPs), care partners, family members, friends, medical professionals, therapists, faith leaders, neighbors, and anyone who wants to better support those living with PD.
You are not alone.
Through personal stories—sometimes funny, sometimes difficult, sometimes deeply moving—I share what this journey has taught me. I talk openly about diagnosis, self-advocacy, building a care team, medications (at a high level), movement disorder specialists, exercise, mental health, research, nutrition, supplements (the good and the bad), support groups, social media support, and the day-to-day realities of living with Parkinson’s.
I am not a medical professional, and I do not offer medical advice.
I am a person living this life, sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
If you have questions about medications, treatments, or symptoms, I strongly encourage you to speak with your doctor, neurologist, movement disorder specialist, or pharmacist. Take what helps you from this podcast—and leave the rest.
I believe in transparency. I don’t sugarcoat Parkinson’s or hide the hard days. What you hear and see is real. Parkinson’s affects every part of life, but it does not have to stop you from living a meaningful, connected, and joy-filled life.
Each season, I interview people who work with and are connected to the Parkinson’s community, including movement disorder specialists, physical and occupational therapists, mental health professionals, researchers, nonprofit leaders, caregivers, advocates, inventors, and people living with Parkinson’s. Every voice matters.
This is not just my podcast—it’s our community.
I welcome your questions, ideas, and topics, because lived experience matters here.
To keep this space safe and supportive, bullying, trolling, or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If someone appears to be a danger to themselves or others, I may report content in order to help them access appropriate support.
Thank you for listening, for supporting this work, and for walking this journey with me.
You are always welcome to park right here.
