Unbalanced with Cerys Davage
Hi! I'm Cerys. Welcome to Unbalanced, the podcast where I discuss what it's really like to navigate life in my 20s with a disability. Stay tuned for interviews with inspiring people, funny anecdotes, some Welsh episodes, and to have your perspectives challenged as I embark on a journey to prove that your disability does not define you. Feel free to give me a DM on Instagram @unbalancedpodcast to have your questions answered and to get involved with the podcast!
