Cruising with ALS, Complaining Optional with Bob Shelton

Awaken Change: Unlock Your Intuition & Make Confident Decisions

What happens when the most active guy I know—my dad—ends up in a power wheelchair after a surprise ALS diagnosis? You get one hell of a story about courage, creativity, and refusing to stay stuck.

In this episode, I sit down with my dad (aka Pops, aka Daddy-O) to talk about how he’s still traveling, still cruising, and still figuring out ways to LIVE—12 years into a disease that tried to take him out. From smart home tech to cruise ships with Hoyer lifts, this is a conversation about dignity, humor, invention, and the power of intention to awaken change when your body says “no” but your spirit says “yes.”
