How do you navigate life when it feels like every challenge is stacked against you? Join us on this eye-opening episode of "Glass Half Full" as we sit down with Win Kelly-Charles, a podcast host living with Cerebral Palsy. Win opens up about her journey from her idyllic upbringing in Aspen, Colorado, to facing significant hurdles, including the heart-wrenching experience of emotional and physical abuse by her aunt in 2019. As a mandatory reporter, Win passionately discusses the urgency of recognizing and reporting abuse, especially for individuals with disabilities.
Win's story takes us through the physically and emotionally grueling aftermath of a five-hour spinal surgery. Imagine the disorientation of waking up with a full oxygen mask on your face when you already have a condition like Cerebral Palsy, which is caused by lack of oxygen at birth. From this initial distress to battling pneumonia and a twisted bowel, Win's resilience is nothing short of extraordinary. Listen as she recounts the emotional toll of these experiences, compounded by the absence of her usual pastoral care, and how a brief visit from a determined clergy member provided a glimmer of hope.
Finally, we delve into Win's advocacy journey, from discovering her condition at a young age to fighting for necessary medical interventions like spinal fusion revisions. Her story underscores the critical importance of self-advocacy and community engagement for people with disabilities. Whether it's demanding respect in social settings or ensuring fair treatment in medical care, Win's experiences serve as a powerful call to action. This episode is an inspiring reminder of the need to challenge institutions to accommodate and recognize individuals with disabilities, fostering a more inclusive and respectful society.
