I'm Emma, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at 42 - let’s just say, I didn’t exactly handle it with Zen-like grace. What started as an exploration of my diagnosis quickly turned into a space where I rant, swear and ask the big, existential what-the-actual-f**k questions about life with a degenerative disease.

As a woman, mother, writer, and artist, I share my experiences navigating a reality where no two days are the same and putting on socks feels like an Olympic event.

I write Who Stole My Dopamine? - there's wine, swearing & laughter.
