Ok… so today’s guest has officially blown this podcast’s swearing budget… out of the water!
Lisa Cox is many things. She’s a speaker, an author, a model who’s been on the New York Fashion Week runway, and a consultant in advertising, media and marketing. She also identifies as someone living with a disability. And she’s disrupting the way anyone with a visible difference is represented in the mainstream.
“People look at me with pity and sorrow and say ‘oh you poor thing’ or they’ll congratulate me and pat me on the back for being out in public and call me an inspiration.”
Lisa’s world changed when she was 24 and had a brain hemorrhage, out of the blue, caused by an infection. She was in a coma and died. Twice.
In this episode we talk about how to find your fearless, why Lisa loves her wheelchair, what dating was like after her surgeries… and the confidence Lisa’s drawn upon to challenge major brands to rethink what inclusivity REALLY means.
So here’s Lisa Cox on Claiming Her Confidence. (And there's a few F bombs, so maybe don't listen to this in the car with the littlies!!)
