In this engaging conversation, we explore a range of thought-provoking topics, each of which is sure to leave you feeling uplifted and inspired.

We shed light on the emotional and mental toll of coping with a life-changing injury, as well as the importance of finding acceptance and moving forward with purpose and positivity. We delve into the power of hindsight, and how it can be used to help others who are newly injured. We offer advice for those who are facing similar challenges, providing hope and encouragement for anyone who may be struggling to adjust to a new way of life. As content creators, we share our love-hate relationship with YouTube. We discuss the challenges of maintaining authenticity while also dealing with the pressures of growing an audience, appeasing the algorithm and producing engaging content. Brittney shares her personal story of becoming a mother and navigating pregnancy and parenthood as a wheelchair user, providing a unique perspective on this experience. Finally, we delve into the dramatisation of disability discrimination, a topic that is particularly relevant in today's society. We share our thoughts on the importance of accurate representation on social media, and the need for greater awareness and understanding of the challenges faced by those with disabilities.
