    Mikey Stone: ALS Diagnosis at 25, Finding Community on Social Media, & New Music!

    Hello beautiful people! For this episode, I talked with Mikey Stone, a social media advocate for ALS awareness and disabilities. Mikey shares his journey from a casual social media user to a prominent figure raising awareness for ALS after his own diagnosis in February 2025. We chat about the therapeutic role of music in our lives and Mikey producing his first project post-diagnosis. Mikey emphasizes the need for community support across social media! We discuss the challenges and triumphs of living with disabilities, the importance of raising awareness for ALS, and the significance of collaboration in creative projects. Mikey shares his excitement about his upcoming music release and a recent song he created and debuted alongside Frankie Torres at this year's ALS Conference!
