Episode 79: From Braces to Belief: Abilities Over Disabilities
A childhood spent in leg braces became the starting line for a lifetime of possibility.In this week’s episode of Victim to Victory: Triumph Over Tragedy, Dr. Paul Wichansky shares how a diagnosis of cerebral palsy sparked a mindset built on optimism, discipline, and self-belief. From the first hard-won steps to speaking on school stages at age ten, his story highlights how focusing on abilities—not limits—can change a life. Along the way: a cathedral moment that rewired “Why me?” into “Why not me?”, a hard lesson in forgiveness that freed the heart, and practical habits that turn good days into great ones.What to expect in this week’s episode:
Early Diagnosis & First Steps: How leg braces, intensive therapy, and a determined mom turned “never walk” into first independent steps—and a lifelong habit of raising the bar.
Mindset Shift—“Why not me?”: The cathedral moment that reframed adversity, replacing “Why me?” with empowered purpose and possibility.
Forgiveness as Freedom: A powerful story of being bullied, offering grace years later, and why forgiving others (and yourself) lifts the weight that holds you back.
Practical Optimism: Simple daily habits—arriving early, managing energy, focusing on abilities over limits—that turn stressful days into successful ones.
Advocacy & Impact: Speaking on school stages since age ten, connecting with students (including Trooper Youth Week), and teaching resilience, respect, and self-belief.
