In this episode of Wheel Talk, I chat with Brian Kinney from the Paralyzed Living YouTube channel for an honest conversation about the emotional challenges of living with a spinal cord injury. We delve into the profound realisation that grieving the loss of abilities happens twice—first when the injury occurs, and again when you have kids and can’t join in on certain activities, like helping your daughter learn to ride a bike.

We also explore what it means to grow old with a disability, touching on the fears and uncertainties that come with aging. Additionally, we reflect on the complexities of strained relationships with our parents and discuss ways to mend those important connections. Join us for a heartfelt discussion that sheds light on the realities of life with a disability.

My first conversation with Brian is fantastic if you want to know more about his story:
