We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson · Born With No Limbs: I Didn't Want To Be Their Poster Child! Briel Adams-Wheatley · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

Right.

Yeah, that's our cute little photo from a family reunion.

We just got done riding motorcycles.

My uncle had held me, I think, on his lap with the helmet on and everything.

And my mom was just waiting for us to be done.

And we had just gotten done.

She took the photo with me.

Oh, I wanna say I'm probably six or seven.

At a younger age,

I was always struggling with the fact that I was being pushed harder than all my other siblings to do things to make sure that I would be able to be independent.

And there was always that very tough love pressure to make sure that I was still putting in the work and doing what needed to be done to be able to be independently successful at the end of the day before I could lay my head down.

I think the biggest pressure was just to be physically independent for the most part.

So every day, we would wake up as a family at 5 or 6 AM, and we would read the scriptures.

And then it was time to do our chores before we'd go to school and before we'd have breakfast.

And my chore was to go up and down the stairs 20 times in 20 minutes.

And if I didn't, then I would get a lecture.

And the whole reason why I had to do this was because that was my way of giving back to my family, of making sure that I was staying physically in shape for them for when they'd have to lift me and everything.

And then also being able to just go into the next level of the home by myself as well.

Definitely.

So I would lay down on my stomach to go down the stairs originally because I was too scared to go on my back down the stairs and see what was in front of me for some reason.
