This week on Disabled and Proud Brooke Millhouse is joined by Georgia Stannard who became an amputee at the age of 22 after she was hit by a bus.
Georgia is so much more appreciative of her body once she became an amputee. Every day is different. She had to adapt and alter her life and be patient as she was less able to do things.
Georgia had to overcome the fear of being disabled and get used to how her life is going to change and will be different as she now only has one leg.
In this episode you will hear:
How Georgia lost her leg
What effect becoming disabled at 22 had on her life
Georgia’s change of perspective once she became disabled

About This Show:
Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.
The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.
Disabled & Proud does exactly what is says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without need to conform for society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.
As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!
