A Wheelie Good Chat
A Wheelie Good Chat is hosted by me, Sam Cole. I dive into real-life experiences of living with a physical disability.
With raw honesty and a touch of humour, I explore everything from daily challenges to societal assumptions, shining a light on the stories that often go unheard.
Each episode features open conversations and reflections that aim to break barriers, challenge the norm and inspire more inclusive thinking, one chat at a time.
