Carla Berbary
About this episode

Siobhan Mungovan is an Irish motivational speaker, author, and advocate born with spina bifida. She is known for her inspiring work as a mind coach and hypnotherapist, aiming to help individuals, especially women, embrace their inner beauty and resilience. Siobhan has overcome significant personal challenges, including health issues like kidney failure and mobility difficulties, yet she defied medical expectations and achieved remarkable personal and professional milestones.

She has written two books: "Me and My Backbone," a coming-of-age memoir detailing her journey with spina bifida, and "I Smiled Back," which explores themes of self-acceptance, body confidence, and societal perceptions of disability. Through her writing and public speaking, Siobhan advocates for inclusivity and challenges stereotypes about disabled individuals in areas like relationships and independence.
