Brad Miller: From Bullying to Author with Becker Muscular Dystrophy
On this episode of Become the Victor Podcast, host Victor Guerra (Victortheinspiration) welcomes Brad Miller, known online as @MyBeckersStory, an author and creator who openly shares his journey living with Becker Muscular Dystrophy. Becker Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic, progressive muscle-wasting condition that can impact mobility, endurance, and independence over time. Brad was diagnosed at age 10 after noticing he could not keep up with other kids while playing soccer, climbing trees, or doing everyday childhood activities. But his story is not only about physical progression — it is about adapting mentally, emotionally, and spiritually while learning how to face life head-on.
Throughout the conversation, Brad opens up about one of the hardest parts of his journey: being bullied for the way he walked. He shares how those experiences affected him deeply, how he often hid the pain from others, and how writing, music, faith, and community helped him survive difficult seasons. What started as writing stories in school eventually became a blog, a platform, and later his book, *Fighting Towards Victory*. Brad’s journey as an author was not easy — from self-publishing challenges to moments where he almost gave up — but completing the book became one of the greatest accomplishments of his life and a reminder of everything he had already overcome.
This episode goes beyond disability awareness and dives into resilience, anxiety, faith, creativity, accessibility, and the power of having something to look forward to. Brad reminds listeners that strength is not always physical; sometimes it is the mental courage to keep going, the willingness to share your story, and the ability to use pain as purpose. His message is especially powerful for anyone living with Muscular Dystrophy, navigating anxiety, facing bullying, or trying to turn personal struggles into something meaningful.
