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

I always had a big fear and that's what my mom and I would fight about was how I was going to go down the stairs and not get

scared or fall or anything.

And so when I first started going down, I would go down on my stomach and I would just slide down the stairs.

And then I'd be able to stop myself with my butt, depending on how I would angle it around the edge of the stair for the next stair to drop.

And then to go up the stairs, I'd go up with, she'd make me do both sides.

So for 10 stairs, I would go up on the left side.

For the other 10 sides, I'd go up on the right side.

There was always a lecture, but also I need to take accountability for some of my own part in it too because I hated it so much that I would lie and say, because there were times that she wouldn't watch me do it, and those would be my hallelujah moments because then I could just lie and say that I did do it.

But then she'd be like, well, yesterday you were under two minutes.

So how did you do it today?

And you're over two minutes.

I'd be like, I don't know.

And so then I'd get myself into even more trouble.

I don't even know.

I honestly feel like I've blacked out a lot of those memories just because I really did not like my parents at that time.

I think mentally and emotionally, I think that's around the age that I started to realize that I was not only physically different, but also I was adopted.

And I wasn't like their other kids.

I didn't look like them.

I didn't talk like them.

I wasn't the same color as them.
