How wonderful that the school invited this presentation. I think this should happen more often everywhere. You are showing that everyone matters by engaging questions. We are all different. Thanks for all you do. ❤
Great, another video! Nice way to brighten my midweek. In addition to your 2 Lady Stuff videos, your 3 Mexico ones, plus this one and the hard-to-handle yet very compelling and heavily informative “10 Things That Suck” video, it’s been a great month for Empowered Para followers. Thanks Brittney for being so consistent and creative! Your videos are highly addictive. Thank you, thank you!!
Love your videos and the insight they give into living with a spinal cord injury. A childhood friend of mine ended up in a wheel chair in her 20s after a car accident and she's mentioned that she had to figure out many things on her own. I think it's really important for everybody's well being to maintain their autonomy and independence as much as possible no matter what happens. I find that the metronidazol treatment for rosacea works really well. It's just a topical cream. From my own experience- you can try for years with diets and various beauty products but nothing will work as well as actual treatment. You're not eating wrong, you have a skin condition.
It’s damned hard to fathom you’re old enough to have kids that age. I rarely get to watch too many vid in a row, but my big truck (I drive a multi trailer combination for a living) is in the workshop for an “A” service, hence commenting on 2 of your videos today……and actually being able truly absorb the audio….usually I listen (ONLY) whilst driving. For example, you might have mentioned that you’re a teacher before, but if you did, it didn’t register with me. I’m glad for those kids because exposure to YOU would help minimise the awkwardness that idjuts like me feel around parasite and quads …..simple for reasons I’ve previously commented to you in another video.
Brittany - Here is advice that I received from my dermatologist (in the US). Stay away from oil based products on your face - this clogs your pores. He recommends Cerave or Cetaphil moisturizing lotion (not cream). Also it is good to use facial cleanser (cerave or cetaphil) not soap which can be too drying. My doctor said diet doesn’t really have much effect on rosacea so don’t drive yourself nuts. Also a water based foundation such as Estée Lauder, Lancôme, or Sheseido covers the redness but doesn’t block the pores. I lived through pretty severe rosacea for many years before I got this advice. I was also prescribed antibiotics but that is no longer recommended but it did help calm down my skin in the beginning. Now at 70 years old I rarely get a flare so I hope I can save you the difficulty I had trying to figure it out! Best wishes! You are so inspiring to me!!
why did the hospital I was at not bring people like you in? Sorry, I had to vent. It's been a struggle for me. you are a great help to many of us Thank you
I am 30 years old in the cart, TH4-TH6. I noticed that the vegetables very badly work on the intestines. It is not best not to eat and eat meat and vegetables (not bloating, light) plus some fruit. Then it's perfect. Differently, he is still diagnosing. And not pour the intestines with fluids, it also works very badly on us.
So I watch a few random wheels vids most days. I'd saved a vid that popped up w/ a girl talking about raising kids from a wheelchair...I thought, "damn...that's a tough lady. impressive." Then I realized... it's like an early days pre-Empowered Para video! 😮😂 guess it's an interview you did lol. Internet fAme 😎
Lawdie! You Yanks (ALL Americans are Yanks to us Aussies) have huge portions in your meals!!!! I’m a big bloke (6’2” and probably 250) and I would struggle with half that meal size!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have you looked into possible being histamine intolerant? Maybe to test get a histamine blocker prior to eating high histamine foods and see what happens 🤍I recently thought I was histamine intolerant and did all the experiments and research but sadly, I have hypothyroidism :( (got blood work done)
Again, you use the word that you’re so blessed. I really truly believe that God blesses you a lot. I wish you would give more credit to him. Jesus loves you.
Brittney, I’d like to ask a question. My wife was out with high-school friends recently and she always seems surprised that former classmates (from decades ago) recognize her so easily. She walks with what some would call a limp, even though I just think of it as her cute walk. So I guess she too is wonderfully conspicuous, but she doesn’t think of it that way. So I was wondering how long it took you to come to terms with being wonderfully conspicuous, and able to use it to your advantage. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Random question, but do you remember last year your daughter sent my daughter sweets, and we sent you guys some? My daughter wants to do it again if you guys do.
Do you have numerous scratches from your chair on the car door aperture and the seat your chair goes on?... My Lexus has many a witness mark to show.. (Phil - UK)
Hey Brittany. Have you ever tried Castile Soap? It's really excellent. It rinses off completely and has no scent unless you want it. I also use it to wash my hair. Sounds weird but it works as good as a commercial shampoo. Thanks for the inspiration ❤❤❤ God Bless
Yes, I highly recommend the carnivore diet. Please watch Dr. Ken Berrys YT videos about the carnivore diet. And make sure to read the comments under his videos. People are saying that they have reversed Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, high blood pressure, skin conditions, IBS, RA, metal conditions, and the list goes on. All from eating what Dr. Berry calls "The proper human diet" .

Always a pleasure watching your videos Brittney 😊
You're a true inspiration! I'm PPMS. Go from scooter to big chair...many transfers! Keep up your posts!

Kids really are the future so I figure it's good to educate them rather than adults lol!

Just love the kids question, their questions are so innocent. So important to educate the next generations. Great job again Brit.
Kids are brilliant!
Always enjoy your videos.
Always good to see that you are doing well and making a difference!
Good luck as always! ❤
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!

Seems like a good day, the food on that restaurant looked great; hope you had a great Labour Day.
It was super delicious!

We got an OEB at our mall not long ago. I should go try it.
You should!
16:06 I believe you answered your own question.
You seem like great mom & wife

I'm Canadian lol. And yes that was big meal! I only ate half!
Would you ever consider going back to teaching full-time or even tutoring after school?
I still teach part time and like the flexibility of that:)
👍👍👍👍👍

I definitely believe the universe/god sends good things my way!
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha. Women. You made that damned bed far better than I could (or probably would) bother
lol yeah my hubby doesn't get why I care about the bed

it took years, I see my wheelchair as an asset and try not to assume what others are thinking
@@EmpoweredParaYou are a smart and confident person! I like that. And I appreciate your reply.

Yes!

Sooo many scratched lol
@@EmpoweredParaDoes your chair also get scratched up, or does titanium resist scratches well?

I use it for a lot of stuff, just not directly on my face. Maybe it's worth a try!
I watch all your videos, thanks for sharing. Comment for the algorithm! pin this?
Thanks lol! Appreciate the boost!
Brit you are so beautiful sad to see transfer and move your legs with your hands and arms. Love your videos.

I'm definitely warming up to it! I'm eating way more meat and way less vegetables!
