Defying the Odds: Paralympic Gold Medalist Mickey Bushell on Resilience, Pressure & Mental Health

In this powerful episode, Andy sits down with Mickey Bushell MBE, a Paralympic gold medalist and record-breaking athlete who defied every expectation life threw at him.


Born with a rare condition, Mickey’s parents were told he’d never move or live independently. But Mickey had other plans. From walking on his hands as a child to breaking world records in wheelchair racing, his story is one of pure resilience, determination, and heart.


Mickey opens up about:

• The pressures of being the best in the world

• His struggles with mental health after facing sepsis

• The stigma of being in a wheelchair and how society often gets it wrong

• Why he believes the government fails new wheelchair users

• What it really takes to achieve greatness—and keep going after setbacks


🎧 Listen as Mickey and Andy have an honest, emotional, and deeply inspiring conversation about overcoming obstacles, mental resilience, and what success really means.


If you’ve ever felt limited by what others think you can do — this episode will change your mindset.
