I’ve learned so much, and more importantly it’s helped me feel better, and more supported. The focus on how to live well now is so important. Please keep 'em coming! Thank you for your outstanding work.

    Great podcast!
    I am so thankful to have found this podcast! I drive anywhere from 400 to 800 miles every week and I’m thrilled to have found something that is more applicable to my current condition. I was diagnosed with YOPD in 2014 at the age of 36. Thanks for putting this together and keep going! #Grit #KeepMoving #NeverGiveUp

    Thank you!
    I was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 48 and I feel like someone just read my mind after listening to this podcast. I am a die hard athlete and 2.5 years ago I started having issues and it took this long to get a diagnosis . I am so thankful for the woman who shared her story in this podcast- she has validated my feelings and fears. I have only recently been thrown this curveball and haven’t had a chance to digest it much with COVID-19 hitting. Thankfully, I now have time to listen to podcasts like this for answers and understanding.

    No longer feeling alone
    This podcast brings to life what I am currently living. My husband has Parkinson’s, and I think it’s safe to say we have been living in denial about the subtle changes he is going through. I found this podcast at a point in our life when we are struggling, as a couple, a family and individually. I laugh, and cry the whole time I listen, every story has a piece of our experience in it! Thank you for helping me and others to not feel so alone in this!

    Just simply the best in Parkinson’s info
    The podcast format lets me multitask when I am able, the topics are pertinent to me as a PWP, they are upbeat so my anxiety doesn't start up. I loved the fact that Kelsey found THE person to talk to re Masking- symptom not yet stalking me so hadn't bothered with learning anything about it- but I should have. And the Prof. Linda has a wonderful way of explaining. And she is going to PWP's for answers. Common sense prevailing over egos---ask and listen and act on the solutions pwp's have had to invent because the medical field seldom asked us anything other than "how you doing?" Bad way to start a dialog! One suggestion- it would be very helpful to have key words and names written in the description of the topic. eg. If I were a newbie, LOUD would mean nothing to me, and might not even catch that was what was said. Likewise the names of those in the episodes.

    I loved this simple dialogue between Kelsey and her mom. It expanded on many issues that affect the caregivers role. I loved the idea of recording the docter visit.

    Learning while living well
    This podcast offers the best tools for living well with Parkinson’s. It is a great listen for PwP’s, care partners, service providers, and anyone else looking to learn more about PD. Kelsey Phinney is easy to listen to and each episode is informational and entertaining!

    This podcast has something for everyone associated with a person with Parkinson’s.
  • lizeast
    Excellent podcast!
    After just a few podcasts, I have learned so much about my condition and how my children are affected . It’s been important over the last 8 years to raise my kids “normally “- or not thinking mom is sick! I have a new appreciation and love for my husband- as my care partner, things might be harder for him! Good job Kelsey!
  • Jeanthebean1
    Wonderful
    This is a thoughtful very well done podcast. I work with PwP everyday and have for nearly two years. After two episodes I have learned and have a deeper understanding of issues. Thank you!
  • HelenTrout
    YES!
    Essential listening to anyone wanting more information on PD - whether you have or know someone with PD - have a listen and share with your friends/family. A personal, thoughtful, informed and much needed podcast. Thank you Kelsey Phinney and the Davis Phinney Foundation!

    These are SO good
    These podcasts are remarkable. They are understandable, authentic and different from anything that’s out there.

    Excellent Podcast
    This podcast has excellent content! I am a facilitator for a young onset PD support group and am always looking for more knowledge. I find these episodes to be very interesting and engaging, particularly with regards to lifestyle, emotional health and wellness! Well done!!!

    I really liked your analogy of the candy and skiing. Now why do I suddenly have a craving for candy???
  • MelDizon
    I coud listen to Kelsey for hours!
    I love this podcast, and Kelsey has such a soothing and clear voice that I never tire of listening to her. As a child with a parent who has Parkinson's, Kelsey has seen it first hand and knows all of the ups and downs that go with it. She also knows what people with Parkinson's and their care partners and loved ones want to know more about. I'm so looking forward to the new season!
