S4_E5: Mark Morabito | “You Didn’t Sign Up for This"
The Other Side of MS
Mark Morabito looked at his wife in a hospital room and told her she could leave. He had just been diagnosed with MS. And in his mind, he already knew how it would end. In this episode, Mark doesn’t hold back. He talks about growing up watching his mom live with MS, believing it was a slow decline you couldn’t escape. He shares the fear of becoming her, the regret of what he wishes he had known sooner, and the moment everything shifted. We push on the idea of “mind over matter.” Because for some, that mindset feels empowering. For others, it feels like a lie. This is not a clean...

The Other Side of MS
Running Into MS with Ursula Forrester Ursula has always been a runner - marathons, half-marathons, and miles that measured more than distance. But in October 2014, after years of unexplained symptoms, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Suddenly, endurance meant something entirely different. She is a wife, a mother of two, and a professional in advertising who still chooses to see the glass half full. But behind that optimism lies the daily reality of MS modifying, compensating, and sometimes surrendering to the fatigue that doesn’t show up on finish line photos. Ursula and her family...

The Other Side of MS
Steve: From Trauma Nurse to MS Warrior Steve was 30 years old, working as a travel nurse in Idaho, when numbness crept up his leg and refused to go away. A ski accident had rattled his body, but what scans revealed was something else entirely: lesions on his brain and spine. In 2002, Steve entered a world he had once only witnessed from the other side of the hospital bed, the world of multiple sclerosis. As a trauma nurse, Steve knew the language of medicine. But living it was different. He walked away from graduate school, leaned on his family in Colorado, and began reshaping his life around...

S3_E19: Brad Romp - Stronger Than He’ll Ever Let You See
The Other Side of MS
What Strength Really Looks Like Brad was diagnosed with MS at 45. Now 64, he’s a speaker, a cyclist, and a face of strength for others living with the disease. But behind the workouts, the travel, and the public optimism is a more complex truth—one that doesn’t always fit into a social media caption or a feel-good campaign. In this episode, Brad sits down for a different kind of conversation. One that doesn’t ask him to inspire, perform, or push through. Instead, we talk about the days he can’t move. The pressure to keep showing up. The identity that forms around always being the...

info_outlineTeresa, Jax Bourbon Social: The Power Behind the Pour and MS
Teresa Eichner is more than the co-founder of Jax Bourbon Social—she’s the relentless force behind one of Jacksonville’s most impactful fundraising events for the National MS Society. After a sudden MS diagnosis in 2016, Teresa’s world shifted. But instead of retreating, she channeled her decades of experience in PR and politics into advocacy, community-building, and bold visibility.
In this raw, deeply honest conversation, Teresa opens up about the private cost of public recognition, the invisible weight of fatigue, and what it really means to be the “well-spoken face” of MS. We talk about her diagnosis story—one of the fastest we’ve heard on this show—and how it unexpectedly brought her full circle to the MS Society. She also shares what it’s like to carry her symptoms quietly through a packed, sold-out fundraiser… all while smiling, organizing, and holding a DeWalt fan like it’s her fourth child.
We also ask a harder question: do glamorized events risk minimizing the brutal reality of MS? Teresa doesn’t flinch. And neither do we.
Whether you’re here for bourbon, boldness, or the bare truth—this one stays with you.
