ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a multiple sclerosis diagnosis threatensto end life as you know it?
In Episode 33 of Your Truth Explored, Rodney Reynders speakswith Carol Cooke AM PLY, a three-time Paralympic gold medallist, nine-time world champion, author and international keynote speaker.
Carol was told that multiple sclerosis would leave herincapacitated and that her life as she knew it was over. Instead, she challenged that prediction, entered elite sport in her forties and competed at her first Paralympic Games at the age of 51.
In this inspiring Carol Cooke interview, we explore:
• Living with multiple sclerosis without allowing it todefine you
• Overcoming adversity and confronting limiting beliefs
• Why age should never determine what you can achieve
• The difference between motivation and commitment
• Making your own luck through preparation and opportunity
• Finding another door when the one you expected closes
• Carol’s transition from swimming to rowing and Para-cycling
• How failure can become one step towards success
• Finding the force within yourself to keep moving forward
Carol’s story is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to pursue a dream, embrace change or discover what you are capable of achieving.
“If one door closes, another one will open if you go lookingfor it.”
