This episode, we spend some time with Solomzi Nqweni, a professional Cricket player for the Aberdeenshire Cricket Club in Scotland. At the young age of 26, Solomzi developed a rare auto immune disease called Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a disorder where the immune system attacks the nerves, leaving him in the hospital for 9 months before starting a long recovery process. 2 years later, he is here talking about what that long road to recovery looks like and the ways he is rebuilding himself.

This interview left me with tears in my eyes of how much I related to being at the top of your game in a sport you love the most, then in a blink of an eye, everything changes. I hope this resonates with you as much as it did with me.
