Dancing in Small Spaces: One woman’s story of love, raw determination and survival

Power Over Parkinson's

Listen as Leslie Davidson, author of Dancing in Small Spaces and person with Parkinson’s Disease, shares her inspiration behind her candid memoir on the life she built with her beloved husband, Lincoln. After receiving two devastating progressive diagnoses - she with Parkinson’s and he with Lewy Body Dementia - Leslie and Lincoln managed to not only utilize the strength in their relationship to process their respective diagnoses, but also harness the determination they needed as they managed the diseases through gratitude, humor, and, yes, a few tears. As you listen, you’ll be struck by Leslie’s calmness and acceptance, particularly around the passing of Lincoln, as well as how she now navigates Parkinson’s every day with grace, honesty, and acceptance.
