    New Wheels!

    It’s been a long time coming… but I finally have new wheels! To the average reader, this may sound exciting. However, if you know me well, you will know that I don’t like change – especially when it comes to something so important as my wheelchair. Oh, and did I mention I’m a hard customer…

    Life Update: New Job & Breaking Comfort Zones

    I like the idea of challenging myself, but on reflection, it’s not something I tend to do that often.

I’ve only recently realised how much I do this, and it’s definitely something I need to work on… I was scrolling through my Instagram the other night and the following quote really inspired me: Living with a disability can take it’s…

    2021: My Yearly Recap

    Each year I like to end my final blog post with a little recap of the past 12 months. With our media filled with so much doom and gloom, it’s easy to forget all the little things we have achieved throughout the year. And as you know, I always like to use my platform to…

In the past I have been asked to feature on several different shows, and 9 times out of 10 I always say…
