• Driving 700 miles around Scotland with one leg (ep. 30)
    Nov 15 2024

    Hi friends!

    This episode is about the recent trip i took going round the west coast of scotland. Stopping off in Largs, the Isle of Bute, Glencoe, Fort William and going all around the isle of Skye. I started this episode with a little bit of background information on my accident as before i had my crash Skye was top of my list of places to visit and at points of my recovery i didnt know if it would be possible. I drove on roads that scared me shitless and had a friend join me who helped me with my disability and helped me to feel very accepted in who i am as a whole. More on disability shame and feeling like a burden in two weeks time.

    Hope you enjoy!
    See you in a few weeks,
    Much love 🥰

  • Becca has a poetry book?? (ep.29)
    Nov 1 2024

    Hi friends!

    Today i decided to do a podcast episode talking about my love of poetry, some of my favourite poems, poets and sharing some poems from my own book at the end of the video. I am thinking about writing a second book, so if you would like them both listed on amazon to buy and read, leave a comment down below and it might give me the motivation to format the second book because right now its just in my notes app on my phone.

    Book:
    The Princess Saves Herself In this One - Amanda Lovelace
    Eighteen Years - Madisen Kuhn
    Trauma, Heartbreak and Healing - Becca (thats me)

  • Lets talk mental health medications, with a mental health nurse.. its me, im the nurse (ep.28)
    Oct 18 2024

    Hi friends!
    Being a nurse was something that for a long time felt like my life passion, and part of that was learning about different types of medications, how they worked and the different kind of side effects, because although i was not a prescriber, i did have a duty to give medication to my patients, to know what i was giving them and the side effects that i had to look out for. And although my accident meant that i was only working for two weeks, i did my 2300 hours of training, and for a lot of my recovery could not wait to get back.. but things change.

    It meant that when i started to take medication to help my brain, that i knew what to look out for in myself and that if i was having side effects what to communicate to the doctors etc. I hope you enjoyed me nerding out about some medications and maybe you learned something from it. There will always be times where things come up that i want to use my experience when i WAS a nurse, it was 3 and a half long years of my life and i want to still be able to celebrate that without feeling like it is my responsibility to go back to a system which unfortunately is not for me. Maybe some time in the future, or maybe ill just keep chatting away.

    See you in a few weeks,
    Much love 🥰

  • September is Suicide Prevention Month (ep.27)
    Sep 30 2024

    Hi friends!
    I am coming back with this episode, and my tail between my legs after thinking i was out of my rutt and starting Season 2 of the Podcast and then taking another bit of time off.
    My mental health hasnt been the best recently, and i have been trying to put things in place from therapy, give myself more compassion, have time for my loved ones, mentoring a young person, and also then trying to do the podcast ontop of juggling disability.. it has been a bit tough, but i am really hoping Becca is back and i have ideas for new episodes. im not going to make promises when they are coming out, but maybe the end of the year will be more consistent for me..
    Much love 🥰

  • THE POD IS BACK! Disability Pride and AITA for sleeping with a disabled guy on the first date?
    Jul 26 2024

    Hi friends!
    After taking a few months off, I thought i would call my come back a season 2. I have a bit of a plan for episodes and i am really excited with how this episode came out with my editing and just how it flows! I am wanting to do more AITA stories; feel free to send me your own 👀 to cripplechroniclespod@gmail.com.

    I am also going to be reading some of my poetry, having a look on at least 10 years since writing some of them. As well as some poems from my favourite creators online, and on paper.
    I also want to take a bit of a leap into doing some deep dives on reality TV shows that i enjoy watching - these videos wont be avaliable on audio, however just videos on this youtube channel!!

    I hope you enjoy this weeks episode, i am trying to get back on with being consistent with fortnightly updates, not sure of time if i have a day like when i was posting this, it may be early in the day.. it may be later. but always on a Friday! Much love 🥰

  • representation of visible disabilities on social media/corrie/hollyoaks (ep. 25)
    Apr 28 2024

    this is part two of my little representation series, looking at representation that has been important for me in my journey of accepting my disabilities. I am really proud with how this episode has turned out after recording it once and not liking it, recording again and having upload issues meaning its a little delayed on releasing. I hope you enjoy the things i have to say within this episode. and the next will be looking into more invisible disabilities.

    I also am going to have to start censoring my swearies as i gain more followers and some subjects in the upcoming episode, but i did not have the time to do it to get this episode out this week

  • representation research, disability representation within the traitors (representation series pt 1)
    Apr 12 2024

    This is a bit of a mix of content as I wasn't happy with the first recording, this was my research when initially trying to look for representation of visible disabilities and I got sidetracked looking more into Big Brother and representation of disabilities within the traitors.This is part one of a little sub-series of the podcast for representation as I feel like there may be a lot of things to add throughout that pop up in day-to-day life.
