Description

Join Tim and special guest Elissa for a deep conversation covering topics including: 






  • How FSHD can affect post-partum healing 

  • Finding a physical therapist who explains exercise in your “language,”  

  • Caring for your body and mind, and 

  • Learning to own your FSHD and it’s progression 


Despite living with FSHD for over two decades, this was Elissa’s first conversation with another person living with FSHD. Her conversation with Tim is evocative, meditative, and a true testament to how living with FSHD is a complicated mixture of connection, movement, growth, and adaptation. 



No one knows the experience of living with FSHD better than those who have it. FSHD Straight Talk features stories of life with this rare disease. Tune in to learn from, laugh, celebrate and sometimes grieve with fellow members of the FSHD community. Whatever your journey, we hope you’ll find yourself in these episodes and know you are not alone. 



On the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, listen for a new episode of FSHD Straight Talk with Tim Hollenback! These episodes highlight members of the FSHD Community who are living rich, full lives and diving into their experiences with FSHD. 



If you would like to share your experiences living with FSHD, please reach out via email or send us a message on social media.
