Episode 38 - Come what WOOL, we CAN manage it, with Thorsten Heyer
| 35 min |
Today I meet the last interview guest this year 2021 and that is Thorsten Heyer. Some may also know him from his Instagram account “Pacman im Kopf”, where he regularly talks about his life with Parkinson’s.
I got to know Thorsten there and we hit it off right away. Thorsten works as an event manager and helps his customers to realize their dreams.
But in his private life, too, since his Parkinson's diagnosis, he has been looking for his own dreams and wishes, which he no longer wants to postpone.
We'll talk about that in this episode.
And what the crazy title, which by the way is to be taken literally, “Come what WOOL, we CAN DO it!” Has to do with it, you will definitely find out. I hope you enjoy listening.
Episode 37 - Halfway through life with Parkinson's, with Gisela Steinert

On this episode, I have a guest woman who is an old hand with a Parkinson's diagnosis. Some even refer to her as the grande dame of the Parkinson's scene and in fact Gisela Steinert or Gisi, as everyone calls her, has already been involved in many projects.
Gisi doesn't mind talk, she prefers to lend a hand and has been doing so for almost 30 years despite and with the diagnosis of Parkinson's.
Look forward to an interview with a remarkable woman.
Episode 36 - Parkinson Terminator Project, with Dr. Uwe Radelof
| 30 min |
Dr. Uwe Radelof, who I have my guest on today in the podcast, is actually a visionary. The diagnosis of Parkinson's 13 years ago changed his life radically.
And although he has already crossed several valleys with his illness, one thing distinguishes him: he has never given up.
And he has a big vision, he wants to cure Parkinson's. That's why he created the "Parkinson Terminator Project". Today's episode is about this project and Uwe's story.
Get inspired!
Episode 35 - Going Forward with Silvia Lerch
| 37 min |
In this episode I have Silvia Lerch from Switzerland in the podcast - a real power woman. Silvia had a real adventure two years ago - despite Parkinson's.
In Lapland she fulfilled a great dream and drove - accompanied by Swiss television - in a dog sled for a week through snow and ice.
In addition, Silvia has been successfully leading a self-help group in Switzerland for many years.
We also talk about her upcoming operation for deep brain stimulation, about the opportunities and risks and about Silvia's own helpful strategies in dealing with her own fear
Look forward to a very rich interview with Silvia - a lot Fun!
Episode 34 - Stay creative with Parkinson's with Sophia Plöchl
| 34 min |
I recently had a really great conversation with Sophia Plöchl. She comes from Austria and she is a woman with a wide range of interests and talents.
Today's episode is about a variety of topics, such as photography or book writing. But we also talk about depression - as an often underestimated symptom of the disease and we share our own experiences and ways we found our way back to life.
Another focus of this episode is how valuable it can be to look for and find new fields of activity in our lives. So I wish you a lot of fun with Sophia and our joint interview.
Episode 33 - And still life is nice with Franz Spanke
| 36 min |
Franz Spanke comes from Rheine in the Münsterland. He has many talents, including poetry writing and his inventions.

I promise you, you won't be bored with this interview either, your imagination will be more in demand.
So look forward to a great interview.
