Before MS, Susie Wyss’s body was her job — a fitness instructor, powered by movement and strength. Then one morning, everything stopped. She woke up unable to walk. What followed was a long, painful journey through misdiagnosis, grief, and a complete redefinition of identity.
In this episode, Susie opens up about the moment she felt like a stranger in her own body, the invisible symptoms that linger even now, and the hard truth about how others see her — or don’t. We talk about the guilt of looking “normal,” the ache of feeling misunderstood, and what it really means to fight for hope when your body won’t cooperate.
Susie didn’t just build herself back — she built a 44-member Bike MS team that’s raised nearly $100,000. But this isn’t a story about fundraising. It’s about rebuilding. About letting go of who you were. About choosing to lead anyway.
