We're Not Your Typical Podcast

Pain, Power & Fighting for Inclusion with GB Tennis Star | Ruby Bishop


Listen Later

This week on We’re Not Your Typical, we sit down with Ruby Bishop — GB wheelchair tennis player, disability advocate, and the force behind Ruby’s Law 🎾♿
Ruby opens up about living with cerebral palsy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) often known as “the suicide disease” as well as ADHD and dyslexia. She shares the realities of chronic pain, medical neglect after childhood, bullying in mainstream schools, and what it’s really like travelling the world as an elite disabled athlete ✈️
We talk about:
- The brutal truth about invisible vs physical disabilities
- Being excluded at school and made to feel like an inconvenience
- Why CRPS is misunderstood and under-researched
- The hidden struggles of elite disability sport
- Flying long-haul in pain, alone, and unheard
- Ruby’s Law and her mission to make PE inclusive for every child
This episode is raw, emotional, inspiring — and one every parent, teacher, and decision-maker needs to hear.
🎧 Trigger warning: discussion of chronic pain, medical trauma, and mental health.
