Tayla Richardson (Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome & Periodic Paralysis)| #107

"I've been in really hot cars where like if a person could get out, they would. It's sometimes a dangerous situation". With only 5 minutes notice, any time, any place - Tayla Richardson could be trapped in her own body and there's no way to stop it." After developing her disability in adulthood, Tayla was diagnosed with Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome, leaving her muscles to be weaker after they're used, sometimes resulting her to enter periodic paralysis for 2-3 hours at a time. Having a "Dynamic Disability", Tayla speaks about what it means to have her disability, finding her voice in the arts and advocacy space, as well as gives us a deep dive into the round the clock planning and exhaustion when it comes to leaving the house.

Knox Gibson (Amputee from accident at home) | #106

There's complexity to Knox Gibson's story. At age 3, his grandfather ran over Knox on the family property with his lawn mower, causing the amputation of his arm. Had that accident not occurred, would Knox now be spending months overseas filming for The Hunger Games? Would he be trailing for his first ever Paralympics, hopeful for a ticket to Paris?  Actor, Athlete, Endorsements and still in school! BUT  What would life have looked like had the accident never happened?  Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin are back in the hosting chairs this time curious as to how level headed and mature this young man is for only 17 years old. We also love it when a guest has to go and get their prosthetic off the charger, shout outs to you Barney.   Want to show your Support for Knox?
