Ado et porteuse de handicap : le sport comme échappatoire pour Zoé, 16 ans • Story Privée

At 15, Zoé learns she has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a rare disease that makes her daily life incredibly difficult: constant pain, dislocating joints, a series of health problems… In short, a far from simple life. But what's impressive about her isn't the illness itself, it's how she lives with it. Between how others see her, sometimes difficult relationships, and her passions, Zoé remains a teenager full of energy and optimism. In this episode, she tells us, unfiltered, about her daily life, her struggles, and above all, how she manages to keep her head held high. ⏲️ Chapters: 00:00: Physiotherapy appointment 01:02: Zoé introduces herself (illness, daily life) 01:44: Parents' fears about the illness and sports 02:31: Discovering her illness and its symptoms 03:50: Wheelchair basketball (living in a wheelchair and parental guilt) 04:56: Zoé's anger towards the illness and her adolescence 05:32: Discussion with friends about disability 06:08: A prosthesis that doesn't match her skin tone 06:40: Remarks about disability and sexuality 07:07: Invisible disability (difficulties in gaining recognition) 07:31: Handisport sailing 07:50: Sports as an escape 08:10: Her vision of the future (ending up in a wheelchair, optimism, aiming for...)

It started as a TikTok account that gave young people a voice to discuss a wide range of topics without taboos: mental health, studies, relationships, family, etc. We've decided to give you an even bigger voice, but this time, in longer formats that explore the daily lives of young Belgians. Each episode is an immersive portrait of a young Belgian, focusing on a theme that resonates with them, to give you a glimpse into the lives of those who are like you or not. And to give you a voice too, we'll be discussing these topics on the radio every Monday from 6 pm to 7 pm. You'll hear from the young people featured in the episodes, and you can also chat with us via WhatsApp (0470 20 17 20)! 🔴 Subscribe to the Tarmac channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/tarmacrtbf/... 📱 Find Tarmac also on: 🔻 Instagram   / tarmac.be   🔻 Facebook   / tarmacrtbf   🔻 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@tarmac?lang=fr 🔻 Website https://www.tarmac.be 🔻 Listen to Tarmac WEBRADIO: https://www.rtbf.be/tarmac/radios
