In this inspiring episode of The Inclusion Bites Podcast, Joanne Lockwood invites Gemma Davies to share her own lived experience with chronic illness and disability, challenging the boundaries of traditional wellness and accessibility. Their discussion reveals the reality of navigating a world where wellness support often overlooks those with fluctuating or invisible conditions. Joanne probes the gap between physical treatment and holistic support, exposing the ways society and health systems sometimes fall short for those living with disabilities. The conversation interrogates not only gaps in the NHS, but also social attitudes, the stigma of “not looking sick,” and the pressing need for more joined-up, person-centred care. Gemma, founder of Wellness Without Barriers, is driven by her own sudden health transformation after a functional neurological disorder left her with long-term symptoms and profound life changes. She helps people with chronic illness and disability access gentle, realistic, and inclusive wellbeing support. Gemma’s mission is to turn her hard-won experience into tangible connection and advice for others who find themselves negotiating the often bewildering healthcare and social support landscapes. She collaborates with organisations such as Ablepreneurs and FND Friends, advocates for better signposting and support, and remains deeply committed to ensuring no one faces such challenges alone. The episode moves beyond diagnosis and disability legislation, tackling social and attitudinal barriers, the importance of self-advocacy, and the value of recognising fluctuating conditions. Joanne and Gemma explore practical adjustments, such as energy management, and reflect on the difficult process of acceptance, self-care, and giving permission to grieve and seek community. Their exchange is filled with warmth, honesty, and practical wisdom for anyone affected by chronic health issues or supporting someone who is.
