    Parenthood and Exercise with Rheumatoid Arthritis - Can You Do Both? With Katy Pieris

    Parenthood and Exercise with Rheumatoid Arthritis - Can You Do Both? With Katy Pieris

    On this episode, we are joined by Katy Pieris to talk about parenting with Rheumatoid Arthritis, the importance of exercise, why she volunteers and hear her arthritis story.
    This felt more like two friends chatting at the bus stop than a video call between two people for the first time, and I really hope that mutual respect, candidness and relaxed conversation comes across in the recording. :)

KPieris ,

Authentic and brilliant

Like Joel’s blog and social media, on his podcast he stays true to himself and the affects his disease has on him, his family and friends. Arthritis is all consuming and podcasts like this are so important for raising awareness and we are people who have to try and thrive with the disease that is too familiar to people as being just for old people!
