Today, I'm getting real about something I've been hiding for too long—my disability. I recently decided to film my morning routine, and it opened my eyes to how much I've kept away from the world. It turns out, I’ve been living in a way that doesn’t fully embrace my reality. I realized that I’m not just Stephen, the guy with a podcast; I’m also Stephen, who is paralyzed and needs a lot of support. By sharing this part of my life, I felt a huge weight lift off my shoulders. It's all about being honest and showing up as my true self, imperfections and all.

It's no secret that I am severely paralysed, I broke when neck when I was 18. It left me a C5 complete tetraplegic/quadriplegic which means my arms and legs are both paralysed. To be honest, most of my body is paralysed.

It's not something I focus on a lot or at least is not something that I share very often. Yes, I say I'm paralysed, but to go into detail like I have in this podcast is something entirely different.

I am a C5 complete tetraplegic/quadriplegic. This is my morning routine, I don't normally share such vulnerability however I think it's time I did.
