I’m thrilled to share this interview with Thomas, the inspiring force behind LiftingWithMS. Despite living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) along with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis Thomas shows that real strength isn’t defined by circumstances, but by mindset, grit, and perseverance.

In our conversation, Thomas opens up about:

What daily life looks like when you’re dealing with MS and chronic conditions
His fitness journey why he turned to weightlifting and how training has helped both body and mind
The mental and emotional challenges of chronic illness and how he finds motivation, resilience, and hope even on rough days
Why he’s committed to sharing his story: to break stigma, inspire others living with MS, and show that limitations don’t have to define you

Whether you’ve faced chronic illness, mental health challenges, or just want motivation to keep pushing toward your goals Thomas’s story is a powerful reminder: strength goes beyond physical ability.

In today’s episode of Living Real Life with MS, I sit down with the incredible Ashley Graves to talk honestly about what life with Multiple Sclerosis looks like in 2025 the real, messy, empowered, day-to-day version.

We dive into how MS has changed over the years, the treatment options available now, and why it’s so important to choose the path that works best for you. What helps one person may not help another and that’s okay. MS is not one-size-fits-all, and neither is the way we take care of ourselves.

Ashley shares her lived experience, her perspective on navigating symptoms and support, and the freedom that comes from owning your own MS journey. This is a real conversation between two people living it no fluff, no pretending.
