My journey through chronic pain and physical disability

About me
and the show

After a severe motorcycle accident in 1997, my life would take a dramatic turn. Leaving me with a paralysed left arm and chronic pain, I would take this adversity and grow from it, turning it into a celebration of living no matter what you face. Join me on my journey to learn why I see myself as one of the luckiest people alive and why I would not change a thing.

Thank you so much for sharing…. He had me in tears. Such valuable insight to pain. Wonderful to hear what he has learned works for him. Will help me in my work with chronic pain sufferers

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I highly recommend this podcast for people who are primarily dealing with chronic pain, or those seeking or appreciating a most inspiring story on one of the most challenging realities a human could ever face.
The author weaves a compelling story based on their experiences that leaves one in awe of what is possible with a mixture of pragmatic, creative and positive thinking. Highly recommended

Episode 38 – Tell him he's dreaming – Screaming in Silence

A lot of people, not just chronic pain patients, struggle to understand why I feel the way I do about life with constant pain and adversity. I've even faced criticism because of my beliefs. Normally I wouldn't address these, but a couple comments recently made me think that I need to explain why I do feel the way I do, in the hope that more people can view adversity from a different perspective.https://onewingkiwi.com/
