I met Lars on New Year’s Eve in 2016 at a former colleague’s 60th birthday party. Lars was the birthday girl’s brother. Since then, we have had many long and interesting conversations, sometimes from opposite sides of the world.

Lars was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago.

“When I was young I met one of my father’s friends. He had been diagnosed with MS. At that time, I thought that Multiple Sclerosis (MS)  was the worst imagined diagnosis. I got the diagnosis myself when I was 40 years old. It eventually forced me into a wheelchair, which was one of the worst case scenarios in my head.”

But despite receiving the worst imagined diagnosis and ending up in a wheelchair, he has defied the worst. His ability to withstand the diagnosis is incredible. It is so unique that I had to talk to him about it. I also decided to share it on my blog. “An unexpected turning point” is the first part of the interview with Lars. You can watch the second part of the interview ” Belief is essential”.

By the way, I have created a free four-week online course,

Calm Your Racing Mind

This course is about empowerment. And for me, the way there goes through the body’s wisdom. The course begins 23 February and takes just 1–2 hours per week, fully at your own pace.
