Inspiring story: adapting to change - with Jack Kavanagh
This week I’m joined by Jack Kavanagh to talk about resilience, inspiration, grief and change. Jack’s a pharmacist and speaker on health & wellbeing and his personal story is simultaneously tragic and uplifting. In 2012 he suffered a life changing spinal cord injury leaving him with just 15% muscle function, and as he shares his story there’s a real honesty and vulnerability that comes through as you realise this is a guy has really had to do the work to get to where he is today with his outlook and determination. When we’re going through challenging times in our own lives it can sometimes feel like there’s a pressure to ‘be resilient’, to bounce back or stay positive but that’s not always the case. Jack shares the ups and the downs, and how he moved through this unimaginable change in his life and there are many lessons that we can all take from this. As always, when it comes to inspiration it’s about your own personal change. I hope that you listen to this podcast and today’s episode in particular and are moved to make some small change in your own life, whether that’s a behaviour you do or a belief that you hold.
