What MS Taught Me About Life with Maddison Cottle
Imagine being in your early 20s, planning your future and suddenly, you’re diagnosed with a chronic illness that will change the rest of your life. That’s exactly what happened to my beautiful friend, Maddison Cottle.
In this episode, she opens up about living with Multiple Sclerosis, the reality of those first months after diagnosis, and how it’s shaped the woman she is today. We also talk about love, planning her wedding, and the mindset shifts that have helped her find strength and joy along the way. Her story will leave you inspired, informed, and maybe even rethinking how you see your own life.
Stay up to date with Maddison on IG & TikTok. If you’d like to learn more about Multiple Sclerosis or find support, visit MS Australia.
