Embrace your quirks

The start of a New Year is always a good time to set yourself goals, both personally and professionally that support your growth and fulfillment. How do you define growth and fulfillment?

In this episode, Kerryn Powell, The Network Catalyst speaks with Sara Shams, instagram account holder of No Legs_ no worries.

Kerryn meet Sara in 2018, through the START foundation, who empower amputees in life through sport, by providing grants to purchase sports prosthesis or adaptive equipment, to help them achieve their sporting dreams. At that point Sara had set her goal to participate in the Bridge 2 Brisbane fun run.

Sara says "There is a perception that having a disability, being an amputee, is essentially a negative thing, a constant challenge to accept and overcome. However, even though being born without legs has its challenges, but it isn’t necessarily something I have had to overcome. Yes, it may be a little harder to reach certain goals (such as the B2B fun run!) but we achieve these goals in spite of our disabilities, not because of it."

Sara started her instagram page as almost a documentation of her journey - in hopes that it will help even just one person experiencing a similar situation. In January, she clocked 10k followers.

Kerryn and Sara will prompt your thinking on what personal growth and fulfillment mean to you as you gain insight to Sara's plan for the coming year.
