    From Paralysis to Pedals: Cate Green’s Journey with Rewriting 233 | Author Spotlight Podcast

    What would you do if one morning you woke up, completely paralysed? That’s exactly what happened to Cate Green, who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2018. One month after being named a business award finalist, she woke at 2:33 a.m., unable to move her body. But instead of giving up, Kate found strength in cycling, adventure, and storytelling. In this Author Spotlight Podcast episode, hosted by Justine Martin, CEO and founder of Morpheus Publishing, Cate shares her remarkable journey of resilience, courage, and reinvention — captured in her book Rewriting 233: MS Woke Me Up to the Life I Was Meant to Ride. Cate talks about: • How paralysis changed her life — and her mindset. • Riding from the north to the south of Vietnam just six months after her relapse. • Her 1,500km solo cycling journey through Victoria with “Sheba,” her bike. • Why she now rides around Australia to raise awareness for chronic illness in business. • How Rewriting 2:33 became a symbol of hope — turning fear into freedom. “If it paralyses you physically, it doesn’t have to paralyse your mind.” This isn’t just a story about MS — it’s about rediscovering purpose, finding strength through struggle, and rewriting what’s possible.
