My mum’s poor joints have been bothering her more and more recently, especially her fingers, so I gave her some hot wax therapy. *no mums were harmed* #MotherDaughter #Satisfying #WaxTherapy #Comedy #Reaction #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Arthritis #CancerSurvivor

7 years ago, I thought my life had stopped. Becoming paralysed and being in constant pain felt like the end of possibility. But Beyond Limits is my reminder — to myself and to anyone watching — that life can still be full. 🎢💫 This week’s adventure? Flamingo Land! I rode the rides (yes, even with some tricky transfers and a fall — shoutout to the amazing staff and my mum 💪❤️), explored the zoo, and even fed lemurs! 🐒 The accessibility isn’t perfect, but the staff attitude and support made all the difference. So much so, I got an annual pass — because this is only the beginning. 🙌 Thanks @Flamingo Land Resort for the best day 🥰 All ride footage filmed using @raybanmeta 🤓 #BeyondLimits #WheelchairAdventures #AccessibleTravel #FlamingoLand #DisabilityAwareness #Comedy #AccessForAll #WheelchairGirl #DayOut Keywords: Adaptive adventures, wheelchair life, inclusive experiences, accessible theme parks, disabled and proud, disability representation, overcoming adversity, paralysed, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, CRP, travel with a disability, ride reaction

Pack with me to go away for 2 weeks… As I need so many medical supplies and I can’t eat the food on the flight (they give me a fruit platter) @VirginAtlantic kindly allow me to take an additional cabin and hold case free of charge 🥰 So excited for this trip away, please manifest that my bags all make it and don’t get lost 😅 #PackWithMe #WheelchairGirl #DisabilityAwareness

✨ 8 years ago, I had lost all hope. Today, I’m filming this in California… with my mum. Hope is REAL. ✨ There was a time I truly believed my future had disappeared- that joy, purpose, even okay-ness were out of reach. But things can change. Life can surprise you. And even when the world feels heavy, hope is still one of the most powerful things we have. On July 12th, the United Nations is marking the first-ever International Day of Hope and I’m so proud to be part of it with @theglobalgoals If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. Hope isn’t naive, it’s necessary. Let’s choose it together. 💛 A few ways I hold onto hope - especially when the world tries to crush it: 💛 I look back. Not to get stuck there, but to remember how far I’ve come. 💛 I surround myself with people who believe in something better - people who don’t laugh at hope, but live by it. 💛 And I remind myself: hope isn’t pretending everything’s okay. It’s knowing it’s not - and still finding the courage to care. #BeHope #GlobalGoals #HopeReport #MentalHealthAwareness #UN #ChooseHope #InternationalDayofHope AD

Fly from Heathrow to LA with us. As a wheelchair user, I find flying extra stressful as it’s not as easy to just get on and off a plane like I did before I became disabled. I rely on the assistance team getting to the aircraft on time with an aisle chair so I can hopefully pre-board before everyone else, I have to make difficult transfers (this one didn’t go well but I was ok and the flight crew were amazing), I can’t get up and ‘stretch my legs’ like most other passengers so I worry that the long flight could result in a pressure sore, I worry that my wheelchair and mobility devices won’t be allowed on board with me and may get damaged in the hold… Thanks to the @VirginAtlantic crew on board, Vicky and Vicky you couldn’t have taken better care of us (even gave us a cheeky beverage before everyone else boarded) and thank you SO much for finding space for my wheelchair (MY LEGS) on board- honestly meant so much! #WheelchairGirl #DisabilityAwareness #DayInTheLife

When I was doing the initial renovations to my house, I had to make some sacrifices in order to make it safe, habitable and accessible for me to live there. One was that I completely got rid of the wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes in the master bedroom so that I had enough room to install a wet room. The narrow entrance way and step up to the house left with no choice but to move the front entrance… entering straight into the kitchen wasn’t ideal at first but getting in was a priority and I actually quite like the layout now. But this did mean I lost the coat storage. My aim is to one day move all my clothes into the extension so that they are all in one place as it’s hard going between multiple rooms to find outfits and I often forget what I have. When I do this, I also plan on going through all my clothes and getting rid of what I don’t wear/plan on wearing. Now let’s talk about coats and jackets, atm they have been stuffed here there and everywhere. When guests come, the ask me where they can hang their coats… growing up, we ALWAYS had a cupboard under the stairs for coats but my house obviously doesn’t have stairs. I have no designated space for them… until now! I bought this really cool wardrobe system (they are from @LoftRobe if you’re wondering) which is perfect for me as it utilises a space I can’t even get up to. The wardrobe drops down from the ceiling at the click of a button- it’s brilliant! Now to sort the rest of my clothes out 😅 #TooManyClothes #WheelchairGirl #AccessibleHome #HomeRenovation

When my dad saw all of the foam 😱😅 sorry dad! My joints felt so good after this, I need to visit my parent’s hot tub more often… getting in it definitely isn’t easy… getting out of it is even harder! #BeyondLimits #WheelchairGirl #wholesome #comedy

Do they actually have flamingos here? 🦩🎢 Have you been here before? I can’t wait to show you what I was able to ride on! 💖 #BeyondLimits #FlamingoLand #WheelchairGirl #Wholesome #trending #viral

I’m DISGUSTED and INVESTED at the same time 😱🤣 Reacting to Virgin Island on @Channel 4 with my mum😱🏝️ #PopcornPicks #WhatToWatch #virginisland #comedy #reaction #UKTV

Today I’m taking part in the #FastForGaza challenge after being nominated by @Carine & Frances I’m fasting for one meal and donating the cost of that meal to help feed a Palestinian family in Gaza — where over 2 million people are enduring extreme hardship due to the ongoing blockade of humanitarian aid by the Israeli government. This is a call for peace and compassion. Innocent people are suffering, and we cannot stay silent. I also pray for the safe release of the remaining Israeli hostages. Every life matters. Every person deserves safety, dignity, and basic human rights. 🍉 If you can, please donate via the link in my bio. All proceeds are going to @Haya Washington , an organization with boots on the ground that are helping Palestinian families in Gaza. 📣 If you can’t donate, please like, comment, share — raise awareness in any way you can. You can also contact your MP/Representative using the email template by @humanti project demanding an end to the forced famine. 🙏 I nominate @Shabaz Says to take on the challenge next and keep this important conversation going. #FastForGaza #StandForHumanity #PrayForPeace #HumanRights #EndTheBlockade #FastForGazaChallenge @YourFavoriteGuy

SOBBING! My all-time favourite childhood movie 🥹 Miss Honey was the reason I became a primary school teacher! Growing up, I would tell everyone “I want to be Miss Honey when I grow up”. And that actually came true! I LOVED being a reception teacher! Life took me on a different path but thankful for the person I’ve become thanks to experiences like watching this film at 5 years old. I think I’ve watched Matilda over 200 times at this point… brb off to watch it again 🍿🍿🍿 CC: Embeth Davidtz #MissHoney #Wholesome #PopcornPicks #Matilda #Childhood

That was a very quick ‘hour’ for you but it was a long almost 2 hours in reality 😭 My car has been doing some very strange things lately… like VERY strange! Turned out it needed a few software updates and had be glitching… maybe it’s an electric car thing idk 🤷‍♀️ #PumpAndDump #WheelchairGirl #ComeWithMe #GRWM #DayInTheLife

I think I’ve improved?? 🥹 “are they not straight?” 💀 Learn to swim with me as a paralysed full-time wheelchair user… #BeyondLimits #paraswimming #wheelchairgirl #reaction #comedy

It’s my birthday ✨ 32 - 6 today 🎉(iykyk) having such a beautiful day, so grateful for all the amazing people I’m surrounded by in life 🥹💖 #Birthday #BirthdayGirl #WheelchairGirl #trending

How long does it take your family to agree on what to watch? What should we watch? Family film night: where everyone has strong opinions, no one agrees, and we somehow still end up watching something everyone kinda likes. This week’s Popcorn Picks features me, Mum, Dad, and my legendary PA Bob — agreeing on one film was harder than making one. Let us know which movie you’d choose and what your bank holiday Popcorn Picks are in the comments!

Has my swimming improved from last year? … #BeyondLimits is a series I created where I challenge myself to attempt things that I thought wouldn’t be possible again since becoming paralysed. Getting back in the pool for the first time last year felt AMAZING (and terrifying!). I am determined to learn how to swim again so couldn’t wait to get back in the pool again this year… at least I didn’t swallow quite as much water this year 😅🤭 Come back soon to see the improvements I made on day 2 👀 I you have any tips, please let me know 🙌 #wheelchairgirl #comedy #paraswimming #reaction

Procrastination Pledge is a series I’ve been doing on Instagram but I loved this episode so much that I had to share it here too 🙌🤣 “This is Amy…” — and yes, she’s arguing with a sarcastic narrator while trying to pull herself out of bed into her wheelchair. Procrastination, pain, and a full-blown wrestling match with my body… but we still showed up. This week’s #ProcrastinationPledge : tackling my hot wax therapy instead of avoiding it for another 3-5 business days. Dark humour? Check. Disability reality? Double check. Small wins? Always. If you’ve ever negotiated with your body just to do the bare minimum — you’re not alone. Drop a comment if you relate, what are you currently procrastinating from? ⸻ #ChronicIllness #WaxTherapy #NarratorTrend #ThisIsAmy #Trend #WheelchairGirl #Comedy #Satisfying
