LEARN MORE ABOUT BRENDA

Diagnosis

Fear and relief often exist side by side after a life-changing diagnosis, thrusting patients into an overwhelming wave of uncertainty, emotion, and change. But patients can move beyond fear to embrace resilience, and rediscover a sense of control and possibility after diagnosis. 

The identity earthquake

A life-changing diagnosis shakes you to your core but you are not your disease. You are a whole person who happens to live with one. Let hope fuel what comes next.

From grieving to thriving

Thriving doesn't happen by accident. Brenda offers a practical roadmap, from self-advocacy and self-care to optimizing your care and investing your energy in joy.

Find your voice, make an impact

Your story is a gift to others. Sharing it helps you reclaim your narrative and reminds someone newly diagnosed that a good life is still waiting for them.

Brenda's Impact

“Brenda has learned from vast experiences how to make sweet lemonade out of very sour lemons. In this book, she shares her experience in the lemonade production. As a neurologist who specialized in multiple sclerosis, I can state categorically that all people with chronic diseases can learn from Brenda’s experiences and her ability to communicate what she has learned over the decades of managing her personal multiple sclerosis journey. Her ability to communicate how to do more than cope but to flourish despite multiple issues is superb! The book does not sugarcoat significant health issues but gives approaches to managing them. It should become an important tool for those with serious health challenges, no matter what their conditions are.”

Randall T. Schapiro, M.D., FAAN

Clinical Professor of Neurology (retired), University of Minnesota, and founder of The Schapiro Center for Multiple Sclerosis

Having known Brenda Snow for eighteen years and witnessed her remarkable expertise firsthand, I can attest to her profound impact on those facing a daunting diagnosis and learning to live in a new normal. Brenda’s personal journey and intimate knowledge shine through as she offers invaluable advice and support. You will laugh, cry, and most definitely come to understand that you are not alone.”
