But here’s the part we weren’t expecting… Bea says becoming paralysed actually made her life better. And trust us… there’s SO much more to this conversation. 🎙️ Becoming Lucy — Full episode out Tuesday 20th October!

How much of life do we take for granted? For Bea, becoming paralysed didn’t mean life stopped. In many ways, it was when she started living more than ever. From Tough Mudders and marathons to dancing, exploring and getting back onto a beach she thought she’d never set foot on again. And sometimes, it’s the simplest things that mean the most. A bit of a wake-up call for all of us to make the most of the life we’ve got. 💛 And a reminder of just how much having the right people around you matters. People who believe in you and, when something seems impossible, help find a way. 🎙️ Bea’s full episode of Becoming Lucy is OUT NOW! 🎧 Available on all podcast platforms, including YouTube.
