💥 “That guy in the mirror led me to a suicide attempt.” 💥
In this raw and powerful episode of The Profici Podcast, I sit down with Anthony O’Brien to share the truth behind my story — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
From waking up paralysed due to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) to dragging myself up mountains on my hands, my journey has been anything but ordinary. I became the first disabled squash player to compete in the European Masters, reached Everest Base Camp, represented Wales in wheelchair rugby, and raised over £250,000 for UK charities by completing 12 extreme challenges in 12 months.
But this isn’t just about achievements — it’s about resilience.
It’s about what happens when life knocks you down so hard you question everything… and what it takes to get back up again.
We talk about:
- Living with CRPS, anxiety, depression, and severe dyslexia
- Turning adversity into opportunity
- Why neurodiversity and inclusion are more than buzzwords — they’re lifelines
- And how choosing not to give up changed the course of my life
Let this episode be a reminder: you are never too broken to rebuild.
