In 2009, I was diagnosed with an adult-onset muscle disease called Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B). For the longest time, I struggled to accept what was happening to me. Eventually, after several years and lots of trial and error, I learned resilience strategies that helped me piece my life back together. This experience motivated me to start a newsletter called Hello, Adversity, where I share the stories and strategies that have helped me navigate tough times.My goal is to help anyone dealing with a major life challenge, whether it’s a disease diagnosis, the passing of a loved one, the loss of a job, or another hardship.Subscribe today at helloadversity.substack.com.
