074: You Wake Up Paralysed – What Do You Do Next? - Sarah chats to Charlott McAnsh

Harnessing Happiness with Sarah J Naylor is an upbeat, energetic, and inspiring podcast filled with joy and laughter, wisdom, philosophies, and positive psychology.

During this inspiring episode you will meet the inspiring Charlott McAnsh.

Charlott is married to Jamie McAnsh, who, as per the title of this podcast, did indeed wake up one morning, long before they had even met, to discover that he was paralysed from the waist down.

During this lively chat Charlott explains how in 2014 Jamie went to bed perfectly normal one night only to wake the following morning paralysed from the waist down.  This led him to Googling ‘I’ve become disabled, what do I do?’ only to discover that nothing came up as to what he could do next.

The situation he found himself in inspired Jamie to set up See No Bounds, an online business community for the disabled.  Charlott talks about the business in more detail, when she joined, how it evolved and how it was impacted firstly by storms in South Wales and then Covid.

As she regularly references, ‘when you fall down you can always get back up again’, their business mantra, that is exactly what they did, and in recognising that suddenly the world had effectively become disabled and people needed support, they expanded their online community and directory into the mainstream and now have 2500 members.

This awe-inspiring pair are also adventurers with a love of the outdoors and climbing and has recently seen them undertaking an epic adventure that Jamie dreamed of doing before he became disabled.

A truly inspiring story of courage and determination.

Jamie has CRPS, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.  He can now walk with crutches, but he does live with pain in his legs daily.
