The only Kiwi podcast about Parkinson’s Kitty Fitton and Emma Kyriacou get real about living with Parkinson’s—while finding plenty to laugh about along the way. It’s honest, heartfelt, and sometimes a little cheeky. From the challenges of daily life to the ridiculous advice people love to give, Kitty and Emma prove that even with a chronic illness, there’s always room for humour, hope, and good conversation. If you, or someone you know has been diagnosed with Parkinson's or early onset Parkinson’s Disease, we're here to help. Because this shouldn't define who we are. Instead, Parkinson’s can fit around us. It's just another part of our Ordinary Life.

We are too. We're also frustrated at the New Zealand health system's inability to comprehend our situation of living with a incurable neuro-degenerative illness, for which we will be on the same pills for life. There is an explosion of new weight loss drugs, and some areas of medicine seem to move very fast — while Parkinson’s still feels stuck in a cycle of symptom management, “maybe in ten years,” and waiting. We try to appreciate scientific progress, but can't pretend it’s enough.
