Hello lovelies!
Welcome to my trying to navigate life as a disabled person. I use a wheelchair to get around and sometimes that creates challenges, but it always leads to a good story. I love finding adventures in everyday life. I'm pretty sarcastic and sassy and I laugh at myself a lot!
So, I want to share it all with you too.

I have been a Taylor Swift fan forever and after nearly two decades of being a Swiftie we missioned across the world to see her in person. Unhinged? Probably. Worthwhile? A million times, yes!

My service dog got explosive diarrhoea!

"That was a humbling experience for sure..." I got my service dog, Eden, in my 3rd year of university and she changed my life. In this episode, we go through some stories that I haven't really shared before and some behind-the-scenes journey of being a working dog mom. Let's do the thing!

Can I park here?

"I'm not saying we're bad drivers" I've had so many debates and arguments about disabled parking, so let's get into it. This episode is just a quick intro of my perspective on this part of disabled life. Let's do the thing! Support the show (www.buzzsprout.com/2290872/support)
I had emergency surgery and then ran the Comrades!

"It wasn't best case scenario but it wasn't worst case scenario either, so that's a win" When plans don't go to plan in dramatic ways the only thing to do is go with the flow. In 2023 we decided to create and attempt the 7in7 Challenge - running 7 ultra-marathons in 7 days finishing with the Comrades Marathon on day 7. Insane, I know. In this episode, you're getting the backstory of what happen...
That's not the compliment you think it is

"It can get heavy always letting things go." I'm constantly engaging with other people. Over the years have had some pretty entertaining things said to me, but sometimes it doesn't hit the mark as you may think. In this episode, we're talking about some things that are said to me on the regular, that don't feel like compliments, and aren't that funny from my side. This is all about learning and...
My body can be a hard place to live

"the level of denial I had about this was unparalleled in my life" Being disabled can be really rough sometimes and we don't always get the chance to acknowledge this and talk about it. We're busy living our lives but it's also fine to show the hard parts too. This episode is exactly that, taking a moment to talk about the hard parts of living in my disabled body.

Life is risky in a wheelchair, but it's assessed risk

"Everybody falls, but you learn from it" We all have moments where we do something embarrassing and it leads to a story shared for years to come. For me, my wheelchair and my disability have added many stories to my catalog. In this episode, you'll get a few of the more memorable disabled fail moments that (mostly) ended in laughter and learning. Let's do the thing. Support the show (www.buzzsp...

CONGRATS!
Go Chaeli and team Beastie!❤
It seems odd to us here that you are all bundled up. We’re nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit today.
Yay! Way to go!
Awesome job! 🎉
An Incredible & inspirational story - two athlete's living to the ultimate - well done Chaeli and "coach" Muddy
Well, I guess I am at least an expert in myself, at least until I ask myself, “What was I thinking?”
May i know, does your infection are less frequent than before after mitrofanoff?
yeah, definitely less frequent! It's only been a few since I got it done and it's been 6 years
Woohoo! What a champ team you are, Muddy & Chaeli! Keep it up. Here's to a 'green' horizon!🎉
Are you Irish Coz I am
I'm South African. Just visiting Ireland for a few weeks 😁
You go girl New sub
Wow ❤ what an amazing team!
Brilliant team
Enjoying following this amazing adventure.

YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER CHAELI

Keep up that awesome work! Your an inspiration and a damn AMERICAN HERO!!!!!!!
That was AWESOME!! So glad it included scenes of your mom watching! Love you both! Miss You!!
i've seen this before with ba.
You three ladies are amazing 🤩
Thank you!
Love your channel! ❤️ will you do a daily/morning routine video?
I am a quad, thinking of getting the procedure done. Thanks for making the video!
Amazing! I can only say good things about it - it's been an incredible way for me to manage my disability and navigate life more independently. I hope it works out well for you! I'd love to hear how it goes, if you choose to go for it x
I don't have a service dog but I do have two cats. I wonder how they would react to me putting a vest on them so they can feel proud like Edin?🤔🙀🙀😬😆
This is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
You mention having some drinks with friends and I’m curious to know if that relaxes some of the spasticity or even your startle reflexes?
yeah I think it does a bit, most of the time. depends though, some drinks have the opposite effect :P
👏👏👏👏
Haha! I hear the plant lady! I have around 40 plants on my balcony, complete with a resident gecko, loads of sparrows and pigeons and the odd cicada. :D
That is awesome!
Thanks, follow me in box
Thanks for sharing your voice. Loads of kids with CP (and other disabilities) are part of communities where the infrastructure and family income don't allow for isolation - this video is a good reminder to all of us who don't have a direct link to someone with a disability, or those of us who see ourselves as the low-risk groups (healthy, young, no respiratory issues) that we are not self-isolating for ourselves, but for one another as a larger South African community. Need more disability voices in this discussion for sure.
“There’s more to me than my CP”...... brilliant! So true!
dog is like "wotttt". glad the vids are back chaeli!
I’m thinking about doing this surgery and my doctor told me I was a good candidate for the procedure but it’s been awhile since I’ve spoken to my doctor actually since my last appointment with her and I’ve called twice and I haven’t gotten an answer so I don’t know when the surgery will happen
That's really exciting! I hope it is successful for you too.
subscribe back, thanks ms
subscribe back, thanks ms
Chaeli you can move your fingers?
are you glad you got it though in the long run though
Yeah I am. It's been a game-changer. I'm thinking of doing an update video soon to let everyone know where we're at.
Nice girl
Great to hear someone share their story, there are a lot of things that are hard or weird to discuss with able bodied friends so it's nice to have some recognition! I have urinary incontinence due to my nerves not working properly and seeing what the different management options are to make my life a little easier. This was very useful, thank you!
I'm so happy that this was helpful! It's important to share our experiences, help each other out, and learn from one another :)
Have you seen or watched videos on the channel special books by special kids? It'd be really awesome if you did a video with Chris 💛 and also Shane and Hannah from Squirmy and Grubs
