Ep28 Empowering, Authentic and Extraordinary: Author Carmel Charlesworth on life with MS
Brisbane-based author Carmel Charlesworth describes herself as an authenticity advocate - she empowers others to see their beauty and shows them how to be their authentic selves. Diagnosed with MS at the age of 37, in her chapter from the book Extraordinary Carmel details the emotions she faced after her MS diagnosis, what got her through and the impact on her life, employment, and family.
An MS advocate, speaker, and mother to two boys, Carmel has fulfilled a lifelong dream to write. In her first work, the chapter Union of Purpose in Extraordinary, she reflects on her MS symptoms – the signs, hints and clues that fortunately led to an early diagnosis, when so many others wait too long.
On the Raw Nerve this week, host Jeremy Henderson, Head of Advocacy at MS Australia talks with Carmel about her passions and busy life, writing work (including a new project about life after her MS diagnosis), health, wellbeing, finding balance and her multiple sclerosis journey.
