S3_E6: Cori - Sometimes, MS Is a Lesson for the Ones Who Watch
The Other Side of MS
What if suffering isn’t a punishment… but a lesson for those who see it? In this powerful episode of The Other Side of MS, Cori — a mother, advocate, and MS warrior — opens up about the grief, faith, anger, and invisible struggles that come with living two decades with multiple sclerosis. She shares how her perspective has evolved over the years, the lessons her children are learning by watching her fight, and the moments she’s felt abandoned — by her body, by faith, and by those who just “don’t get it.” Cori doesn’t sugarcoat the truth.

info_outlineIn this episode, we sit down with Zohra — a Korean and Algerian, first-generation American woman living with MS — to talk about the truth that doesn’t fit in a brochure.
This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s what it feels like to be praised for your strength while silently drowning in exhaustion. It’s the fear that if you open up, they’ll just call it complaining. It’s what happens when your body starts forcing you to step down from leadership—and you have no say in it.
Zohra has spent nearly two decades in education. She understands what empathy is supposed to look like—and what it feels like when it’s withheld. From the night she met the MS community for the first time in a piano bar… to the moments she keeps spare clothes at work in case her body won’t cooperate… Zohra doesn’t hold back.
This is the side of MS we don’t talk about enough. The invisible weight. The slow losses. The kids who notice more than adults. The humor that saves us.
If you’ve ever had to smile through something unspeakable—this episode will feel like a hand on your shoulder.
