My Story

This blog was born somewhere between a Parkinson’s diagnosis, a strong cup of coffee, a glass of wine, and the realization that life rarely goes according to plan.

My name is Rachel. I’m a wife, mom, former surgical tech, saleswoman, professional overthinker, and now someone learning how to navigate life with Parkinson’s disease — one shaky step at a time.

This isn’t a polished wellness blog full of fake positivity and inspirational quotes slapped on sunset photos. This is real life. The messy middle. The fear, frustration, dark humor, fatigue, awkward moments, questionable decisions, and small victories nobody talks about enough.
