What’s Wrong With You? is a podcast about disability that tackles

The seven-part series is hosted and produced by a team of young

perspective. The world is not designed for disabled people, so
Olivia Shivas, Rebecca Dubber and Grace Stratton are paving

Continence NZ
The more we know about the things that afflict us, the more
empowered we are to deal with them in a positive manner.
Above all else, remember you don't stand alone with your problem .
There are tens of thousands of continence sufferers in New Zealand
alone, many believing wrongly that nothing can be done! There are
also many who are here to help you with your recovery.
Seek help now, and get more out of life!
