Growing Up With Cerebral Palsy, The Story Behind My Fitness Journey

For a long time, I shared pieces of my story online, but never the full picture.In this episode of The Daryl Perry Podcast, I finally sit down and share my experience growing up and living with cerebral palsy, how it influenced the way I view fitness, how it shaped my mindset, and why it ultimately led me to create Your Level Fitness.Living with cerebral palsy has impacted how I move, how I train, and how I approach my health. But more importantly, it shaped how I think about identity, self acceptance, and building a life around what is possible instead of focusing on limitations.This conversation is not just about cerebral palsy. It is about perspective. It is about learning to trust yourself, adapting to challenges, and building confidence in your own path even when it looks different from everyone else's.If you have ever struggled with self doubt, physical limitations, or feeling like you do not fit the traditional mold of the fitness industry, this episode will resonate with you.Your journey does not need to look like anyone else's.
