In today's episode Jonny speaks with an inspiring man whose journey he’s been following for nearly a decade now, Henry Fraser; Author, Artist and inspirational speaker. Henry addresses the devastating paralysis he suffered when he was 17 with a calm acceptance underpinned by defiance and, if there were to theme today’s episode it would be in the power of allowing. Reminiscing over first meeting at Henry’s debut art exhibition held at his school with a painted portrait of Jonny as one of the starring pieces, the conversation unfolds into the joy of discovering how shucking the worries of perception of others and finding that all of you is left. The freedom and joy that comes in releasing control of what you cannot, and taking control of what you can. How far you can go once you’ve hit rock bottom, once you’ve hit your limit it’s amazing how much further you can go, and seizing control of that which you can control, and letting be that which you cannot, a lesson Henry has arguably learnt a very hard way! Through tragedy, physical hard work and jeopardy, emotional turmoil, it would appear, comes enormous growth and strength.
