Today’s guest is a special repeat offender to life uncut! She first joined the podcast back in 2021 and has also been a special guest at 2 of our live shows. There are only a few people that we refer to with the description of ‘human sunshine’ but Em Carey is absolutely one of them! You can listen to Em’s episode from 2021 here.
Em Carey is a survivor of a 2013 skydiving accident in Switzerland, which resulted in a paraplegic spinal cord injury, leaving her with no feeling from the waist down. She is now a bestselling author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky, a keynote speaker, an artist and potentially a future marathon athlete!
A lot has happened in Em’s life since we last spoke publicly. Some of what Em has been up to has been shared on social media but a lot of it hasn’t. Em has, in her own words, clocked off from social media in the last two years and so today we wanted to speak with her about why she decided to enter herself into the New York Marathon, an uncommon form of parental estrangement, dating with a disability and finding an identity outside of being the girl who fell from the sky.
