This week on Chancing My Arm, I’m joined by Zoe Smith – para surfer, competitor, and someone who quietly redefines what resilience really looks like. After a life-changing injury, Zoe didn’t just adapt – she paddled back out. Into cold water, heavy waves, setbacks, and the kind of self-doubt that doesn’t show up on highlight reels. What followed is a story about identity, patience, and finding freedom again in the ocean. We talk about surfing as therapy, learning to trust your body again, and what it means to chase joy rather than limitations. This isn’t just a conversation about sport – it’s about purpose, perspective, and choosing to show up even when the odds shift.
This is Zoe Smith. And this is Chancing My Arm.
