The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America is pleased to present our podcast episode “Relationships and MS.” Hosted by Kate Durack, Director of MSIN Communication and Patient Focus at MSAA, this episode addresses how MS has a way of shifting the dynamic when it comes to relationships with others. Our guest is Kimberly Castelo, PhD, a licensed therapist living with MS. During this episode, our host and guest discuss both clinical insights and real-world strategies to foster communication, strengthen emotional connection, and cope with the complex realities of love, intimacy, and support in the face of a chronic illness like MS.

This episode was produced and recorded at Gradwell House Recording in Haddon Heights, NJ. Music provided by The New Anxiety (Tim Recuber and John Masino III).
