One Moment Please

Imagine going bike riding with your friends, then the next thing you know you're flying through the air, crunching into the earth and then gasping for breath. Suffering an agonising wait for the ambulance. Trying to remain calm. Desperately hoping that the damage is not as severe as it feels. Hearing the words spinal cord injury and being told you may never walk again. Feeling your identity shatter inside you. Mark Berridge navigated these impossible moments, after a cycling accident launched him onto a recovery path littered with uncertainty and fear. It upended the high-flying corporate life the father of three had known. It set him on a journey of determined self-discovery.

Podcast update for the listeners. Host shares her exciting news with the listeners and what does this mean for the podcast.

In 2014, Harriet Barnsley was hit by a car travelling 162km/hr whilst standing in a bus stop in Birmingham. She woke from a month-long coma to learn that she would need a wheelchair for life. Her oldest friend Rebecca had been killed at the scene. They were 21 years old.

Suffering from a traumatic brain injury, received 12 units (roughly 12 pints) of blood, and eventually learned all the parts of her body that were impacted.

The first five months in hospital was immensely painful. Not just from the brain injury, the broken bones, nerve injury and grief, but mainly because of an unusual phenomenon called ‘heterotrophic ossification’(HO). This is the term used for bone growth outside of the skeleton. Bones were growing throughout the muscle of her right hip, fusing it.

5 years post accident – Harriet developed mental health issues which included psychosis and a stays in mental health facilities.

Dr. Allen Lycka was acknowledged as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists in the world for three decades. A pioneer in cosmetic surgery, he helped to develop laser-assisted tumescent liposuction - an advanced body sculpture technique, and Moh’s Micrographic Surgery, an advanced means of removing skin cancer with 99% success. He has lived and practiced in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada since 1989. He’s written 17 books, 30+ academic papers and hosted the number one internet radio show in the world – Inside Cosmetic Surgery Today. He is a co-founder of Doctors for the "Practice of Safe and Ethical Aesthetic Medicine" and founder of The Canadian Skin Cancer Association. He has won the prestigious Consumers Choice Award For Cosmetic Surgery for 16 consecutive years.

In 2003, Dr. Lycka’s life changed drastically when he suddenly developed a right foot drop while on vacation with his family at Disneyland. He promised his wife he would explore it, and after seeing many doctors was misdiagnosed with having ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Still, he maintained his status as a leading cosmetic doctor for 30 years. He later discovered he has Chronic Lyme disease.

Because of what he learned through his experience, he left his practice and co-authored the bestselling book, "The Secrets To Living A Fantastic Life" with Harriet Tinka, a former fashion model and Woman of Distinction.

He has also authored two more books: one with Corie Poirier entitled, “bLU Talks Presents: Business, Life and the Universe” and one with Jack Canfield entitled, “The Pillars of Success.” Both books also became bestsellers during the Covid crisis in 2020. Currently acknowledged as a leading expert in Living A Fantastic Life and Turning Points, he is a transformational speaker, thought leader, coach, and mentor.

He counts his family as his most important accomplishment.
