How do you not just survive, but thrive, when life stacks everything against you? Fifteen years ago, Justine Martin was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, faced three heart surgeries, and battled three primary cancers simultaneously.

In this conversation with Nic Healy on Statewide ABC Radio, Justine shares her journey of resilience, self-discovery, and purpose. From finding solace and success through art to building a thriving career and writing her candid memoir MO XIE: How I Learned to Harden the F Up, she reflects on identity, perseverance, and the mindset that allowed her to bounce forward, not just back, from life’s toughest challenges.

Tune in for inspiration, honesty, and actionable insights on thriving in the face of adversity.

What would you do if one morning you woke up, completely paralysed?

That’s exactly what happened to Cate Green, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2018. One month after being named a business award finalist, she woke at 2:33 a.m., unable to move her body. But instead of giving up, Kate found strength in cycling, adventure, and storytelling.

In this Author Spotlight Podcast episode, hosted by Justine Martin, CEO and founder of Morpheus Publishing, Cate shares her remarkable journey of resilience, courage, and reinvention — captured in her book Rewriting 233: MS Woke Me Up to the Life I Was Meant to Ride.

Cate talks about:
• How paralysis changed her life — and her mindset.
• Riding from the north to the south of Vietnam just six months after her relapse.
• Her 1,500km solo cycling journey through Victoria with “Sheba,” her bike.
• Why she now rides around Australia to raise awareness for chronic illness in business.
• How Rewriting 2:33 became a symbol of hope — turning fear into freedom.

“If it paralyses you physically, it doesn’t have to paralyse your mind.”

This isn’t just a story about MS — it’s about rediscovering purpose, finding strength through struggle, and rewriting what’s possible.

Listen now for a dose of resilience, adventure, and pure human spirit.
