Raimy-Rose joins Bron to discuss her journey as a disability advocate and personal trainer specialising in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Raimy shares her journey from traditional work environments to running her own business serving a community she is deeply passionate about. We talk about the challenges people with disability face in standard work settings, the benefits and flexibility entrepreneurship provides, and the importance of inclusive workspaces. Raimy also opens up about her personal struggles with EDS, her entry into the fitness industry, and how she manages her health while growing her business. If you have a chronic illness and/or disability, or are supporting clients who live with disability/chronic illness, then this conversation will provide great insights! Thanks so much Raimy for your openness and practical strategies 💖
