Episode 2 - Finding grace with Brad Smeele
On my second episode of Finding Grace I’m stoked to be joined by Brad Smeele from New Zealand. Brad was a pro wakeboarder and model living his dream until and accident four years ago left him as a quadriplegic and changed his life forever. Now Brad is learning to live and love life without the use of his body, while working and striving to regain movement. I’m thankful to be able to have this space to share some of Brads story.
Meet Brad
In this conversation Brad and I explore what finding grace means to him, when faced with a life changing situation.
- We cover how you go about trying to deal with this and look for grace in such a situation.
- We discus the mental health aspects of such a big life change.
- We cover the frustration of having to rely on others for everything.
- We get honest about how you connect with yourself and feel sexy.
- How he’s started up a foundation and the direction he wants this to go in.
All of this and so much more. I hope you enjoy this conversation and it inspires you to find grace whatever space you are in.
