In this episode of Every L Podcast, Gareth bravely shares his journey of coming to terms with his visual impairment (called Retinitis Pigmentosa - RP) and the difficulty of admitting that he needed help. The conversation touches on the importance of self-kindness, reflection, and having supportive people in our lives.
More about Gareth:
Almost 7 years ago I was diagnosed with a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) & registered as severely sight impaired (legally blind). The main symptoms of my condition are having no peripheral vision and severely reduced vision in dark and dim light. Imagine looking through cardboard tubes. It is a progressive condition with no current cure.
Since then I’ve been working on trying to accept my new label of being a disabled adult and parent. Especially as the condition I have is hereditary and could potentially be passed on. Only recently I’ve realised that I’ve not been coping well with the fact I’m going blind, I’ve been masking my feeling and thoughts to try and protect myself and others.
In the last few years, I have tried to make a positive impact and use my experiences to help others who have had similar experiences. I use my voice to try to do whatever I can to educate and raise awareness of visual impairments and all disabilities.

In this episode of Every L Podcast, I explore the story of R.P Falconer who failed his GCSE exams but came back to retake them and go on to achieve great success.

R.P is an author who shares his perspective on survival and societal issues through his book 'The Sweat.'

Here is a bit more about Renaldo (R.P) Falconer:
I am an author, father, husband and brother to all who carry the fire. I hail from London in the UK and have written one full-length novel called 'Lilif' and three other books consisting of one short story (The Springs) and two short story compendiums (Compendium 3 & Compendium 4)
I had the honour of writing a chapter (The things my father never taught me) in the Amazon best-selling book 'DAD' (Featured on BBC One, BBC Radio London, The Guardian, Channel 4 and in the Times newspaper. I am on the verge of releasing my new three-part novel, 'THE SWEAT', a dystopian drama set in London.
My love for writing stems from seeing my mother read countless books in my childhood years. I can recall her screaming with both laughter and fright over the written works of Stephen King, Dean R Koontz, James Herbert and many more. Interestingly, her books led me to film instead of reading, and I developed an endless imagination and love for creating characters and stories.
By age twelve, I had watched the films Rosemary's baby, Misery, Salem's Lot and Pet Sematary only to be told - 'If you think the movies are good, the books are ten times better. As I matured, I discovered how true those words were, and I've never looked back. I want to make people laugh, cry, care and cherish my writing. I genuinely believe there is a book in all of us; we all have a story to tell.

Why was this created?
In 2013 I went through a very tough time with work and spiralled into depression. I shut myself away from everything and every one after being falsely accused and shunned by those pending investigation. How I was impacted my relationship with my wife, mum and anyone else who cared for me but I didn't care. I was ok and didn't see how this situation was 1) fair when I didn' do anything and 2) how my life would be better after this.
I didn't look for anything like this but I know that if I heard a series of stories from other people's lives where things didn't go as intended and what the outcome was it would have helped me to have faith that things will work out in the end. So fast forward to 2022 when I was months away from being a dad to twins (my 2nd and 3rd child) I launched this podcast which I hope will provide hope, and encourage and remove the stigma around topics that are often described as taboo.
Just because we are not in a position to take a picture and share it on social because its not exciting at the moment or we are not in a great place doesn't mean we are losing at life when in most cases it is a part of the process. Your right now is not your forever and nothing about a caterpillar tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
