For the first time in 4 years we are pausing the podcast for a couple of weeks. I love doing it, but sometimes life has other plans. There is a lot going on behind the scenes, and while I am ok, I need to free up space for family and medical appointments.

I’m not fully disappearing and will be recording in advance. While I’m away we are releasing some of our most listened to episodes.

This episode’s guest is Martin Broad, an accountant Broad who fell victim to Guillain-Barre

syndrome, a rare disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks your nerves. It can eventually spread, eventually paralysing the whole body, which happened to Martin to the point he could only communicate with his eyes.

In this episode Martin shares:

• What the first moments felt like as Guillain-Barre syndrome started to take effect
• Just how bad things got for him while in hospital
• What it felt like being trapped in his own body
• The impact this challenge had on his family and life
• His long road to recovery and how he kept the mindset he needed to recover
