About this listen
In Episode 4 of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce and Brian dig into one of the toughest but most important parts of this journey — talking about Parkinson’s. From opening up to family and friends to those awkward moments with strangers, they share the real struggles, the funny misunderstandings, and the surprising relief that comes from honesty.
You’ll hear about:
- Why it’s so hard to tell people about your diagnosis
- The “invisible symptoms” problem and why people say, “But you don’t look sick!”
- How family and friends react — and how that can both help and hurt
- Navigating conversations with coworkers, acquaintances, and total strangers
- Tips for finding the balance between sharing and oversharing
- Why vulnerability often leads to unexpected connection
This episode is packed with honesty, humor, and practical advice for anyone struggling with how to open up about Parkinson’s.

"With Parkinson’s, the words don’t always come easy — but every time you share your truth, you give someone else permission to share theirs."
