Zoe Fox and Dani Czernuszka-Watts

Two mums. Two spinal cord injuries. One honest conversation.  For International Women’s Day, Zoe Fox and Dani Czernuszka‑Watts open up about motherhood, identity, resilience, and the moments no one talks about — but every woman needs to hear.  In this powerful International Women’s Day special, host Zoe Fox sits down with her friend Dani Czernuszka‑Watts for a conversation about life, identity, and motherhood after spinal cord injury. Dani sustained a T10 spinal cord injury following an illegal rugby tackle—an event that changed her life overnight. But what followed is a story of resilience, grit, and a refusal to be defined by circumstance. As a mum of three, she’s constantly breaking down barriers and challenging assumptions about disability. With Zoe by her side, the two dive into the realities that are often left unsaid, how injury shapes their roles as mothers, where they find hope on the hardest days, and what it means to show up for themselves while showing up for their families. Raw, real, and full of heart. If you’ve ever needed a reminder of the power of women supporting women—you won’t want to miss this conversation.
