About the guests –
Kelly Munford is a Motivational Speaker and Author. She says every day above ground is a good day. They are powerful words from a woman who suffered a broken pelvis, broken neck and a traumatic brain injury when she fell asleep behind the wheel and crashed into a tree. That crash, on Auckland’s Southern Motorway in early 2011, when Kelly was 21 years old, took her years to recover from. Following the crash, her father took two years out of work to care for her. They had to leave the home they lived in so Kelly could stay in a rehabilitation facility before they moved her to a boarding house. She says the experience has made her a better person. In her presentations she is very frank about her experiences with bulimia and Depression, and her time living in her car. She has also presented a 1000’s of talks to school students along the dangers of driver fatigue. Kelly’s story is one of mental toughness in the face of adversity. Her never give up attitude is truly something to admire. She has written her first book. Kelly Munford – My drive to Survive.
