Tamsin Colley: When you are a Paralympian at 14 years of age 🏃‍♀️🇧🇷🙌

In this episode of The I Can’t Stand Podcast, I speak with author and performer Pam Joy Wood about psychosocial disability, long term mental health recovery, and the power of self advocacy.

Pam lives with ADHD, complex PTSD, and a history of acute and chronic major depression. Through her solo show DYS-ORDER-ED and her memoir Five Fat Sausages, she shares what it means to survive systemic failure within healthcare, misdiagnosis, medication side effects, and institutional harm and how she rebuilt her life through creativity and radical joy.

As mentioned in the episode, DYS-ORDER-ED is available to download and watch for free here:

Psychosocial Disability, Self Advocacy and Creative Recovery with Pam Joy Wood

In this episode, Peta speaks with Jane Wardlaw about mentorship, mobility, and the deeply personal decision of when to start using a wheelchair. Jane shares her lived experience of growing up with muscular dystrophy, navigating changing mobility, and how a wheelchair became a tool for safety, freedom, and possibility rather than loss.

Together, they explore why mentorship matters for disabled people, especially when navigating identity, independence, and systems like the NDIS.
