Apr 17, 2023, 05:00 AM
Mick Coyle is joined by GB Paralympian Amy Conroy.
Amy is on the podcast to talk about her mental health journey, discussing grief, family support, overcoming physical illness, and finding new goals in life.
Amy was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 13, and had already lost her mum to the illness.
She lost a leg as part of her treatment, but showed immense strength to seek new goals, and found herself playing wheelchair basketball at the Paralympics.
Amy reveals how she survived her journey, and how she is learning to spot the signs that her mental health might be struggling.
Amy was speaking as AXA released their Mind Health Survey results for 2023.
