Welcome to Making It Meaningful! I’m so glad you found us!

I’m Nikki Louiselle and I created Just Shake It Off in 2019 after a Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis in November of 2017 rocked my world. Having little insight as to how or where to start, I created some social media profiles and began posting and interacting. In those interactions I found resources, support, and an incredible community of people.
Because of that community, I am honored to have had the opportunity over the last 4 years to work in collaboration with so many phenomenal organizations…The Mighty, Health Union, ParkinsonsDisease.net, WEGO Health, and the Parkinson’s Foundation…as a Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Advocate.
And now, I can be heard co-hosting “Making It Meaningful – The Podcast” with Mark Milow, a Parkinson’s Foundation Ambassador, a member of the Parkinson’s Foundation’s “People with Parkinson’s Advisory Council” (PPAC), and the creator of Mark In The Park 21. I’ll share more about my personal journey, and the unexpected twist my story has taken, in the early episodes of the podcast and I will keep you up to date on the various projects I’m involved in.
Mark and I are really looking forward to sharing some amazing guests with you and learning more about the ways people everywhere are striving every day to make it meaningful.
So, grab a cup of coffee and please feel welcome to dig in, look around, and take a listen.
We’re really glad you’re here.
