This week, Cherry Dana and Chloe Pillans sit with motivational speaker and athlete James Hackney to dismantle stereotypes about Cerebral Palsy and intimacy. James shares his childhood accident, rehabilitation journey, and how confidence, communication and safety planning shape his relationships. We cover ableism, accessibility, emotional regulation, consent, and why respectful, trauma-informed care matters in adult decision-making.
