Am I having a midlife crisis and is it different for disabled people?
Dave Does Disability - The Podcast Episode 1.
Am I having a midlife crisis and is it different for disabled people?
Hello and welcome to Dave Does Disability - The Podcast.
Hi I'm Dave. And I spend my life doing disability. So I thought to myself, why not start a UA-cam channel about it. Here you find me talking about what I get up to in my life regardless of the fact that I have cerebral palsy, a speech impairment, use a wheelchair and wear hearing aids. Dave Does Disability hopes to inform, motivate and inspire disabled people and anyone else interested that having a disability actually means that anything is possible.
Follow my journey as I talk hobbies, interests, childhood memories and what its like being an adult with a disability.
I will share tips, tricks, educate and we'll hopefully have some fun along the way. So come and join disability and me today. You won't regret it.
In episode 1 of Dave Does Disability The Podcast I discuss why having turned 40 I have decided to start this podcast. As a follow up to previous videos I discuss with Abi why I am starting a podcast, what I hope to achieve with it and who I hope to help by telling my story including the struggles that I've overcome such as my battle with social isolation as a disabled person.
