Summary

Most people underestimate how deeply Parkinson’s disease reshapes identity, independence, and daily life. In this revealing episode, award-winning writer and journalist Marni Jackson shares her journey from diagnosis to redefining how she lives, including the unexpected ways she pushes back through boxing, mindfulness, and movement. Marni speaks candidly about living with an incurable disease, the importance of honest conversations around caregiving and asking for help, and finding joy and humour as life slows down. Her story offers a powerful reminder that resilience is not about fixing what is broken, but about presence, patience, and learning new ways to stay connected to yourself and others. __ This episode of The Hart Of It All is presented by Capital Direct.
