Welcome to my newsletter!

Hi everyone,

I’m Siobhan Daley. Welcome to my newsletter.

I’ve got no idea what I’m doing with this, to be honest. I’ve been attempting the content creator path for a few years now, and nothing has really stuck, because I don’t like creating content per se. I love writing though, and after running a failed blog - or rather, a few of them - I realised that I don’t want to write for SEO, or whatever. I just want to write, share my thoughts, feelings and experiences, and grow an audience of cool and weird people who are just as interested in the same shit I am, and build from there.

So, who am I and why should you care?

I’m a woman with Cerebral Palsy who uses a power chair and communication device. I’m also a public speaker and writer currently writing my first book. I’m an elite boccia athlete. I’m also a devoted dog mum to my greyhound, Winter. All round, I’m pretty fucking awesome.

Apologies to my family members who will no doubt be my first subscribers, but I need to build this as a place where I am myself, so you’ll have to excuse my language in these newsletters.

I’m building some pretty awesome things, in my opinion. I mean, I’m writing books, I’m starting my own newsletter, I’ve finally succumb to the inevitability of building a social media career - ugh. For someone who is addicted to it, I really fucking hate building a social media presence. But, here I am, giving it yet another crack.

I don’t know what this will turn into yet, but it will probably be a weird and wonderful mix of disability, AAC, writing, sport, and whatever I can’t stop thinking or shut up about that week. Yeah, I’m my own niche. Welcome to the chaos that is my life.

I’ll probably send something out once a week, but if you’re here, you know that life with a disability never goes to plan. If any of this sounds like your kind of chaos, you’re in the right place.
