I am so glad you could join us. I'm your host Mo Gaudet. This podcast is nothing more than a conversation between two good friends sharing inspiring life stories and perhaps

some nuggets of wisdom along the way.

This is your invitation to slow down with us.

Welcome to slow more. My guest today is a true superhero, not the ones that you see in Marvel movies.

This is the one that you interact with on daily basis and perhaps don't

recognize how much of a hero she is. Sophie Elway sustained a spinal cord injury

in 2011 when she was just 22.

She fell from a balcony when she was at a party.

Totally unexpected turn of events. The incident left her paralyzed from the

chest down and left her dependent on a wheelchair. However, despite that or perhaps because of that, spent several years alpine skiing as a member of the British disabled ski team,

and then she decided to finish that chapter and come back to London where she now works for a spinal injuries charity

supporting people through a mentoring service as her day job in order to help others reach the kind of

familiarity and ability if you want that she has developed for herself post her injury. In her spare time she

loves to water ski and wakeboard competitively and she hosts a fantastic

podcast a life less ordinary with Sophia Lewis. On her podcast she interviews

impressive people who have overcome huge challenges and adversities in

their lives and through their stories inspire others to overcome the challenges that they face.

Sophie has also become an avid meditator.

She started that after a toxic relationship last year and through

meditation her wisdom and her ability to help others continues to increase.

So if you reached out to me on Instagram to ask me if I was willing to be a guest on her

podcast and I said it would be my absolute honor but then I said hold on on, I think a bigger honor would be if you were my guest here on Snowmow.
