About this listen

In this episode, we chat with Elisha Samuels, who recently won Hidden Disability Personality of the Year at The Empowerment Awards by Talks with MS. The award was sponsored by Hidden Disabilities Sunflower and presented by our podcast host, Chantal.

Elisha shares her own unique experiences of living with multiple sclerosis, discussing her challenges, the importance of a supportive workplace, societal perceptions of living with a non-visible disability, and the Sunflower's value in making the invisible visible and its contribution to evoking dialogue about inclusivity and awareness.

Elisha's poem, "Burnout" gives an insight to the challenges she has overcome and why she feels she received the nomination for the award.

If you are experiencing any issues discussed in this podcast, please contact your healthcare practitioner.
