Imagine being born with a congenital disability and still representing your country at the Paralympics. That's the incredible story of James Roberts, who joins Brendan Cutuli on 'Mental Insights' to talk about his journey of overcoming physical and mental challenges.

In this episode, James opens up about his insecurities, the fears he's faced, and how he found joy in exercise. One of the most powerful messages from their conversation is the importance of challenging others' opinions and staying true to oneself. James emphasizes that finding an activity you love can turn exercise from a chore into a source of joy and personal growth. His reflections offer valuable insights for anyone dealing with adversity, whether it's physical or mental.
