Ep.38: Diversity and Personal Responsibility, with Emma Livingstone

  • Résumé

  • In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Emma Livingstone, who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at age two. At age 16, Emma was discharged from medical services, being told that she was the best she would ever be, although she found her physical problems increased in adulthood, without any integrated care from the authorities.

    In response, Emma started a charity to help those in the adult Cerebral Palsy community who like her, were struggling to get the right kind of help. In the episode, Emma speaks passionately about personal responsibility and the need to own your circumstances to take the first step.

    We also discuss the power of the individual to not just encourage equality but to embrace diversity if we want to see positive change, as well as the impact that recent circumstances like working from home can have to make the work environment more inclusive.

    Emma is a qualified speech and language therapist working mainly with children across London and runs the charity Adult Cerebral Palsy Hub full time with her colleague and friend Neuro Miriam Creeger.
