"What's Your Chair?"This is a question posed by Ryan Rae Harbuck, the author of "When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Chair: A Memoir" (2022), and she describes the "chair" as being something that you are "bound to or unwillingly defines you," that "makes you different from the rest," and that "you have little choice in the matter." She talks to Equilibria psychologist, Erika Kawamura, PsyD, about her traumatic and life-altering car accident at age 16 that left her paralyzed, requiring her to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
This episode is about her courage, strength, perseverance, and choice to thrive and reconnect with her passions for swimming and becoming a mother, inspiring us all to do the same by not letting external circumstances or internal fears and self-talk get in the way of our goals and dreams.
