How can I be like everyone else again

from My blurred opinion · host Timothy West

This episode is with Ryan, when I first met her, I realize what a Nice person she is, I don't always look into their story fully, I like to get to know it through the interview in a genuine way. So when she started to tell me her story, I was captivated and humbled by her sweet and kind demeanor. She became a paraplegic when she was 16-year-old from a car accident. We discuss how she was before the accident, and who she became after. She really had to adjust her mindset, because she set out to find out if she was cool or not based on her wheelchair, and how she looked to others. We talk a lot about school, the good the bad, and the ugly of the new person with a disability, and how all the attention can be put on you based on your appearance. She was an athlete before her accident, she was a professional swimmer, and she wanted to figure out how she could get back to that being a paraplegic, by joining the Paralympics, but she had a lot of doubt if she could even do it, because of her situation. One of the things that woke her up was the realization of her accident, and her paralyzation affected her family. Ryan is a very strong person, it just took a lot for her to realize how special she is, and her inner stress is so powerful. https://www.ryanraeharbuck.com https://www.instagram.com/ryanraeharbuck /https://www.facebook.com/ryan.r.mclean
