On the final episode of 2022, Emily Bray comes on to talk about confidence, meaning and purpose on the days when you really feel disabled.
What does that mean? These are the times where something has happened and you have the very confrontational thought: "Holy crap. I'm actually disabled".
Where do you find the resilience to keep going when you have a body that requires you to think about added challenges?
How do you feel confident going to the shops or going… anywhere with a running commentary in your head about what your plan b, c, d and e is if everything goes wrong?
Emily from SCIA's Resilience Programs and Susan talk about gaining and retaining confidence, meaning and purpose, especially when there are situations with unavoidable everyday anxieties, confronting those “Holy crap. I’m actually disabled” days, and finding your community.
