LIVE! Unfixed : Uncut with Eileen Dougharty

About this episode

Eileen Dougharty discusses her experience with early-onset Parkinson's and the creative rebellion it has inspired in her life.

Living with early-onset Parkinson’s, writer Eileen Dougharty has turned what she can’t fix into a full-on creative rebellion. In this salty, tender conversation, we talk about death & bucket lists, deep brain stimulation & love thugs, and why most things are actually small things when it comes down to it. Eileen reminds us that saying I love you might be the fiercest act of defiance.
