Adulthood: Revisited
Episode 81: Cerebral Palsy to Life Coach with A Call to Action's Paul Forchione
November 27, 2020
Hey, there, A:R Nation! Are you ready to be INSPIRED?!?! Our guest today on the podcast is Paul Forchione. I met Paul on Facebook, and was so excited to share his story and experience with you. Paul was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth. He shares how his doctors told his mom that he was destined to lead a limited to life, filled with physical, intellectual, and emotional shortcomings. Paul's mom refused to accept that, and knew that life had more for her son besides a doctor's label and opinion. She found doctor's that gave Paul a stronger outlook of what life could be for him. Although it didn't come with its challenges, Paul shares stories from his childhood, including some of the challenges he faced in school, when all he wanted to do is just be another kid. He talks about a huge success - finishing a lap running - and how he leveraged that success story to eventually make his high school baseball team. Paul shares getting into the workforce, finding a job in the mortgage industry, and how he tried to keep his story of being diagnosed at birth with Cerebral Palsy swept under the rug. Although he was succeeding in his career, a work-sponsored training featuring John Petz changed his life. Paul left so inspired by that presentation that he started asking himself if he could do that with his life - speak and coach people to do, be and want more of their lives. From that, A Call to Action was born, Paul's life coaching business where he helps people really explore what is it they want from their own lives, and to realize the potential that they have within them. Rather than sweeping his birth story under the rub, Paul shares that he embraces that story when he works with clients because of the critical importance of authenticity in our lives. Paul ends with reminding us of a truth that we all should keep top of mind: if you believe it, you can achieve it. Turn your setbacks into stepping stones. This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.

Paul's mom refused to accept that, and knew that life had more for her son besides a doctor's label and opinion.

She found doctor's that gave Paul a stronger outlook of what life could be for him.

Although it didn't come with its challenges, Paul shares stories from his childhood, including some of the challenges he faced in school, when all he wanted to do is just be another kid.

He talks about a huge success - finishing a lap running - and how he leveraged that success story to eventually make his high school baseball team.
