This week, I’m joined by someone whose courage, honesty, and strength will stay with you long after the episode ends — Dessie Fitzgerald.
In 2011, Dessie’s world was turned upside down by a spinal cord injury, paralysis, and the loss of his brother. But instead of giving up, he chose to rebuild. Today, he’s a life coach, motivational speaker, and a powerful voice on resilience, healing, and purpose.
- Mental health and depression
- Life after a spinal cord injury
- Grief, trauma, and recovery
- Finding peace and post-traumatic growth
- How Dessie now supports others as a coach
Dessie’s story is full of honesty and hope - and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a way forward.
