Adapting is a Superpower: Stefanie’s Journey as a Mom with RA, Coach and Nurse Practitioner

<p>Stefanie is the Rheumatoid Arthritis Coach. She’s a mother, teacher, volunteer, Family Nurse Practitioner, and also has rheumatoid arthritis. She was diagnosed about six years ago after the birth of her  first child. As a medical professional with over ten years of experience at that time, she was completely lost and felt like her world was shattered. The day she was diagnosed she cried for 10 minutes in the car, and then decided: “I’m not only going to take control of MY disease, but I want to help others to do the same!”</p><p>Cheryl Crow is an occupational therapist who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis for seventeen years. Her life passion is helping others with rheumatoid arthritis figure out how to live a full life despite arthritis, by learning effective tools to navigate physical, emotional and social challenges. She formed the educational company Arthritis Life in 2019 after seeing a huge need for more engaging, accessible, and (dare I say) FUN patient education and self-management resources. </p><p>Links:</p><ul><li>S<a href="http://rheumatoidarthritiscoach.com">tefanie’s Rheumatoid Arthritis Coach Website</a></li><li>Email: Stefanie@RheumatoidArthritisCoach.com</li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RheumatoidArthritisCoach">Facebook Page: Rheumatoid Arthritis Coach</a></li><li>Stefanie’s Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/rheumatoidarthritiscoach/">RheumatoidArthritisCoach</a></li><li>Cheryl’s Free Handout: <a href="https://thoughtful-experimenter-636.ck.page/d7fceeea9a">Cheryl’s Master Checklist for Managing RA</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/arthritislifepodcastandsupport">Cheryl’s Facebook group</a>: Arthritis Life Podcast, Practical Tips & Positive, Realistic Support</li><li>This episode is brought to you by the <a href="https://arthritis.theenthusiasticlife.com/beginners-guide-to-life-with-rheumatoid-arthritis/">Rheumatoid Arthritis Roadma</a>p, an intensive online education and support program Cheryl created to empower people with the tools to confidently
