The Good, the Bad, and the Reality – Your Source of Strength, Hope, and Support.
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010 at age 40, Bryce Perry has spent over 15 years navigating the daily challenges, unexpected changes, and surprising lessons that come with living with a progressive disease. Through it all, he’s found purpose, perspective — and plenty of humor.

It’s a podcast built on truth, resilience, and the belief that you can still live fully, even when life looks different than expected.
Listeners say:

The Parkinson’s Symptom That Comes and Goes (And Drives Everyone Crazy)
Saison 1 · Épisode 37
mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 12:53
One minute you’re walking fine. The next? Your leg’s frozen, your hand’s doing the cha-cha, and your family’s asking, “But you seemed fine this morning!”
In this episode, Bryce tackles one of the most frustrating parts of Parkinson’s: the symptoms that come and go—randomly, without warning, and without a user manual. From spilled coffee to freezing mid-goodbye, it’s the unpredictability that drives us (and everyone around us) a little crazy.
You’ll also hear real tips from the community—like elevator cards, sturdy-chair scanning, and planning for the “just in case” moment. This one’s real, raw, and full of those “yep, that’s me” moments.
🧠 Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, the only thing predictable is that it’s unpredictable.”

The Shocking Reality of Living with Parkinson’s Long-Term
Saison 1 · Épisode 36
mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 10:43
What happens when Parkinson’s stops following the “rules”? When symptoms change overnight—or your reflection doesn’t even look like you anymore?
In this powerful episode, Bryce opens up about the long-haul experience of living with Parkinson’s for over 15 years. From unexpected symptoms like facial masking to emotional crashes in the car after tough appointments, he shares the truths no one tells you in the brochure. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s what long-term Parkinson’s really feels like.
He talks about the moment he couldn’t recognize himself, why freezing during a kitchen dance turned into something beautiful, and how his symptoms didn’t get worse—they got creative. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or many years in, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.
🧠 Bryce-ism of the Episode:
“With Parkinson’s, your identity might change—but your value never does.

This isn’t just a list of habits—it’s a powerful reminder that Parkinson’s doesn’t have to define your day. You’ll hear about his “Wake, Take, and Wait” strategy, sacred morning stretches, why movement must come before momentum, and the surprising joy of a private dance break.

What I Would Say to Someone Newly Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Today
Saison 1 · Épisode 23
mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 12:54
If I could go back in time, I’d sit down with my newly diagnosed self and share everything I’ve learned—things I wish I’d known, things that would have saved me some fear, shame, and wasted energy. In this episode, I share the conversation I wish I’d had: a message of hope, strength, and perspective for anyone facing a new Parkinson’s diagnosis.
You are still you. Parkinson’s might change parts of your life, but it doesn’t erase your worth, your humor, or your value. I talk about the power of community, letting go of shame, refusing to let Parkinson’s define every moment, and how to stop living in fear of a future that hasn’t even happened yet.
If you’re newly diagnosed or even if you’ve been fighting this for a while, this episode is for you.

Is it okay to laugh when you’re living with Parkinson’s? Absolutely. In this episode, I share personal stories and reflections on why laughter isn’t about ignoring reality—it’s about surviving and staying human. From dropping water bottles at the airport to freezing at the bottom of an escalator, I’ve had my share of cringe-worthy moments. But here’s the thing: every time I chose laughter over embarrassment, I found a way to reclaim my dignity and connect with others.
Humor is a survival tool—it reminds us that we’re still us. Whether it’s telling a silly joke or just smiling at the absurd, laughter helps us move forward. If this episode made you laugh, or even smile a little, drop a comment below and share your own funny moment.

Finding Empowerment in the Awkward Moments of Parkinson’s
Saison 1 · Épisode 21
mercredi 11 juin 2025 • Durée 20:39
Let's talk about the awkward—and the power it holds. In this episode, I open up about how I’ve turned those uncomfortable Parkinson’s moments into opportunities to reclaim my dignity and confidence. From rogue arm swings to random freezing in the grocery line, I share personal hacks and stories to help you embrace, not fear, the awkward.
Community Voices: 💬 “I love ‘awkward is unavoidable, shame is optional.’ That grace goes a long way. Humour, honesty, different things work with different personality gifts.” – @merryanne6024 💬 “Your statement about being awkward and not apologizing, not being a problem, and giving yourself some grace… is a powerful statement. I burst into tears, not because it made me sad but because it gave me some relief.” – @mislori66 💬 “I’m going to use that ‘Parkinson’s pocket dump’! I work in retail and sometimes I feel like more ends up on the floor than on the hooks and shelves.” – @christinemiller2238 💬 “Bryce, your podcasts help me as much, if not more, than my Parkinson’s meds. It’s such a great support group. Thank you.” – @MaryDewald-t2h
