#186: Beyond the Spotlight: The Unspoken Cost of Being Inspirational

About this episode

We often hear stories about people who have triumphed over adversity. And we call them 'Inspirational'. But what we don't see is the price that person pays to be labeled as an 'Inspiration'.

What Is the Cost?

For Kevin Lowe, the host of the podcast, that cost was his eyesight. For Ryan Rae Harbuck whose story was featured in Episode 185, her freedom to walk. She was left paralyzed as a teenager.
