Join me on a journey through resilience, accountability and vulnerability as I share my personal story. At 28, faced with a life-threatening illness, I was given a choice: undergo surgery that will make me paralysed or face death.  I happily said “paralyses me” and tackled rehabilitation with determination, dedication and a strong mindset leading to a recovery beyond everyone’s expectation. That was in 2015, and for years I've been urged by those around me to share my unique experience. But I'm not here to seek sympathy or admiration. Instead, I offer a raw and honest glimpse into a pivotal moment in my life, hoping that my story resonates with someone out there. Through storytelling, I aim to shed light on the power of resilience and the true meaning of success, urging listeners to embrace their own journey.
