Reframing Life After an Acquired Disability

from Braaains · host Braaains Podcast

Today's conversation is with Laura McKenzie about how she reframed her life after experiencing Transverse myelitis, which led to her spontaneous paralysis on New Year's Day in 2023. Laura is a stay-at-home mom who raises her kids, loves her dogs, and is a good partner, all while being in a wheelchair and having to relearn everything she previously knew how to do. She has become immersed in the once-foreign world of disability, and she has now found herself an advocate for it.  She recently wrote a children's book titled 'Mommy Grew A Wheelchair,' which features images of Laura (before and after her paralysis), her two kids, and the family's two big, shaggy dogs. It's currently available on Etsy or Ko-Fi.
