Hiiiii lovely people! Today, we bring you the remarkable Sophie Delezio. If Sophie’s name sounds familiar, you were probably first introduced to her story more than 16 years ago, when a car crashed into Sophie’s daycare centre and trapped Sophie underneath. In that incident, she suffered burns to more than 85% of her body, lost both of her feet, a number of fingers, and an ear. A few years later, Sophie’s life was threatened again by a serious car accident, where, after being thrown from her wheelchair, she obtained an acquired brain injury. In the face of so much adversity, Sophie Delezio is a sunshine-y force to be reckoned with. Now, on the cusp of her twenties, Sophie is a fighter who didn’t just survive, but thrived despite everything that life threw at her. In this chat we will retrace the two events that shaped Sophie into the incredible person she is today, and how her parents’ and brother’s love nurtured her in even the darkest of moments. For more from Sophie, follow her on Instagram @soph.delezio. If you liked this episode, we recommend checking out our chat with skydiving accident survivor Em Carey, which you can find here.

Hey there! On today’s show: Is James Corden the next to fall down to cancel culture? Plus, the celebrity baby boom, David Beckham’s massive Netflix’s deal, and the Kardashian birthday story that split Shameless listeners right down the middle. Is it a bit gross to celebrate your 40th birthday on a private island and post about it on social media, all in the midst of a pandemic? Or, should we just accept that rich people are going to live their very best lives, no matter what the rest of us are doing? This week, Mich recommended Reputation Rehab on ABC iView. For our fellow Melbournians, Zara recommended listening out for the boisterous noises of lively pubs, restaurants, and busy roads. We’ve missed you, sounds!
