Episode Details

Carly Simon reveals she’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive brain condition that’s reshaped her life — but not her spirit. Once attributing her mobility struggles to hip and knee replacements, she now embraces the reality of tremors, stiffness, and a profound sense of apathy. After withdrawing from public life like a “bear in hibernation,” she’s found renewed purpose in recording her new album, “Comes in Waves,” weaving old melodies into a new rhythm of daily life. Though she doesn’t see the diagnosis as a gift, she’s learning to live with it — still writing, singing, and connecting with loved ones. Her message? She’s not gone — she’s just moving slower, and she’s deeply grateful for the support that’s carried her through.
