I had a career most athletes dream of, playing for Ireland, Sussex, and Bedfordshire. Afterwards I went into teaching but in 2013, everything changed after my diagnosis.
Instead of accepting my fate, I took on the ultimate challenge. From major spinal surgery in the USA (where two-thirds of my nerves were severed!) to gruelling rehab and a 9 hour 5K walk in May 2024.
In this podcast I talk rawly, honestly and at times humorously 😉about taking on resilience, mindset and adapting when life throws the unexpected at you. In this episode, I dive into:
✅ The moment I knew something wasn’t right
✅ The brutal reality of living with HSP
✅ My decision to risk everything for a chance to walk again
✅ Why resilience isn’t just about bouncing back – it’s about coming back stronger
✅ The life lessons I now share as a speakerMy story is proof that when life changes, you can change with it – on your own terms.
