omg ....you have to start guiding newly injured people ..Fred already does through me showing my pts his content ...you have no idea how invested my younger pts become because the way he talks is not medical but real life experience ...I am a registered nurse on a sci injury unit and i use so much i have learnt through you guys to guide these guys
so as a bit of take away advice i got from the beginning of the talk is that the quicker you become independent the quicker you can join in ....seems like obvious advice but until i heard your story when you were young Brit i didn't think of that ....i think this vid is going to be so helpful for my young pts which are all young guys at the moment
I’m not disagreeing with Britt, there are definitely cool perks of the SCI and wheelchair use, but (negative take here) I feel like those are way outnumbered by the times I can’t get around and I can’t experience something with my kids. And I consider myself very highly functioning. Finishing with some positivity, I do see my kids being more compassionate and aware of inequity than most kids their age. So bonus there.
I’ve had a lot of girlfriends. Trust me, I know when I see the signs and 9/10 I’m right Obviously I’m not perfect and am able to take the criticism fairly and indulge in a healthy discussion that highlights my flaws, but sometimes, it is a hormonal overreaction, which is still a delicate situation to be handled with care.
@FreddotheWheelchairGuy my husband is in complete agreement with you ...he reckons he knows my cycle better than me and full disclosure he does....it's just that weird thing that you just never want to admit any emotions are tied to your period .....I hope you didn't think I was seriously having a go at you!!! I was saying it joking around
Could you not tie in your process of trying to give some value back (with freebies etc) with a course you could both design for a fee but rather than charging a fortune for it as you say some courses do, make it more accessible to a larger number of people by offering a lower cost? Either as a one off course cost covering all things you feel would be beneficial to people who have recently suffered an SCI or a course over a set number of weeks/months with different content in each one, perhaps even extending the service you provide to being mentors where you can chat to people who are going through things that you’ve been through yourself already? You guys are so eloquent and informative and I can see a lot of people would benefit from having your knowledge and experience to call upon and I’m sure would be more than happy to pay a reasonable fee to be able to utilise that kind of service. If you got sponsors from firms offering things which would be of benefit to the people who sign up to the course (like a catheter company as you mentioned) then you could give people who sign up a ‘welcome pack’ or a monthly/bi-monthly package which contain things that could provide them with goods which will bring added benefit to being a ‘subscriber’. Yes there is a lot of free content out there - I know Fred covers a lot of it on his TH-cam but this course would gather all of those great resources into one place which saves having to sift through a lot of different videos in a lot of different places. Just an idea but I don’t think you should feel guilty about monetising your services, so long as it provides value to the users and is not excessive in terms of costs like some of the courses you mentioned then I think you’d get a lot of appreciation for that. Either way, keep up the good work you both do, I love watching your videos!

Patreon take quite a heft fee, too. I believe "buy me a coffee" is the best for the creator in what they receive.
i have never been grateful for food poisoning !!! I did not make it home and my car never recovered .......😂
There’s always a reason for gratitude!

I agree, it’s an interesting concept and quite thought provoking.
Glad it got you thinking about it!
i literally cannot believe you said u thought christine was near her period when she was so upset ........oh Fred !!!!!!!!!

Brit i think you get the extra attention because you are beautiful....not because of the Wheelchair 😅

Food for thought! Thanks for the in depth reply and kind compliments 😊
