Coming To Terms With Being Disabled | Melanie Woods | Fearne Cotton's Happy Place

In this chat with Fearne, Melanie talks about how her own journey of coming to terms with being disabled has encouraged her to see the excitement in trying new things. Getting started, she says, is often the hardest part, but there are always opportunities to gain new skills and confidence.
They also chat about how to deal with pressure, especially when doubts creep in, and why it’s so important to lean into hard work and persistence.
What do you do when you start to feel doubt creep in? 😣

I'm new to this Chanel. But I am very sure I will be watching all the videos to come & some of the old ones as well. I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel Fearne.I think this lady has done very well in such a short time of her unfortunate accident. I hope she continues to do well & succeeds in many events. As for voices in your head. What do you mean by voices in your head? I have never in my 53 years had this. But if I do get voices in my head. I hope she as a lovely voice like you 🙂👍.
