At 24 years old, Giselle Moor hit the ground after a drag-racing accident and instantly realised she couldn’t feel her legs. In that moment, her entire life changed.

In this powerful episode, Giselle opens up about the crash that left her paralysed, the pain and shock of the early days, the brutal physical and emotional recovery that followed, and how she eventually rebuilt herself following the accident.

From spending months in hospital learning to live in a wheelchair, to battling anger, grief and the loss of independence, to travelling through 17 countries with her partner and completing marathons in her wheelchair — Giselle’s courage, honesty and self-awareness make this one of the most moving conversations ever shared on The Bondi Podcast.

This episode goes deep on:

• The exact moment Giselle realised she was paralysed
• Surgery, rehab and the emotional cost of spinal trauma
• Learning to walk again partially and accepting life in a wheelchair
• The mental health battle: anger, shame, grief and slow acceptance
• Backpacking through South America and Asia in a wheelchair
• The Sydney and London Marathons and what they meant to her
• How the accident reshaped her relationship, identity and happiness
