Living with an auto immune condition isn't easy. It impacts not just your body, mind, and spirit but your whole life. Today Rhea Fawole joins host Azra Alagic to chat about living well with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Rhea Fawole is the CEO & Founder of SOLVi Migration – an Immigration Law headquartered on the Gold Coast.

Her passion to create SOLVi Migration came from 12 years of working in senior roles at the Australian Immigration Department, and seeing the challenges faced migrating to Australia. 

When Rhea was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2010 at the age of 32, she felt grief for the life she thought was all but over as she learned to navigate changes in her body, mind and spirit. But like the Phoenix that she is, she has risen to self-educate, embrace, and thrive living with this condition.

Rhea discusses:

  • What her symptoms were before she was diagnosed with MS
  • How long it took to get diagnosed and how she grieved about her condition
  • What causes MS it's like to live with
  • How mindset and surrounding herself with a postive network helps manage her condition
  • The treatments that worked and didn't work for her
  • How nutritious food and exercise is critical for managing her condition
  • Her top tips for living well with MS

To ensure she managed her health well, Rhea has built a remote legal practice that operates four days per week; a successful operating model she says never would have been borne without her learning how to balance a rewarding career with a chronic health condition. Her vision for SOLVi is to make navigating the migration process to Australia more fun and simple for clients, and the benefit of her remote 4-day structure means that she has been able to attract a team who all value being able to work to help businesses and overseas workers plan their migration pathway to Australia, and have the space to prioritise their own health and wellbeing too.
