What Happens When You Advocate Louder Than Pain
Send us a text A birthday fall didn’t seem like a life-changer—until weeks later when pain roared, the knee wouldn’t bend, and the ER’s answers didn’t match what the body was screaming. We walk you through the messy middle: canceled surgery, a psoas impingement label that didn’t fit, a rehab stint that hurt more than it helped, and the relentless push to be heard. When an orthopedic visit finally led to a CT scan, the truth landed with force: the hip had been 50% out of the socket since June....

Why School Choice And Licensing Deter Me From Teaching In Arizona
Send us a text Some decisions feel like a pivot; this one felt like a reckoning. We open up about stepping away from teaching in Arizona and the mix of policy, practicality, and personal wellbeing that led us here. Arizona’s school choice model promises options, but the way public funds flow out of neighborhood schools has real consequences for teachers and students who rely on consistent support. We walk through how dwindling resources, chronic instability, and a tough licensure calculus mad...

How Do You Keep Moving When Your Body Won’t Cooperate?
Send us a text The body doesn’t wait for perfect timing, and neither do we. This update brings you right into the mess and movement of real life: unclear hip X-rays, a CT scan scheduled for Halloween, and hard choices about partial versus total hip replacement. We talk through pain that steals sleep, the slow march of appointments, and the honest math of rehab—what it takes, what it gives back, and why the mindset you carry is often the strongest medicine. We also get practical about access....

From Ski Slopes To Storytelling: How A 28-Year Friendship Built A Podcast
Send us a text A tech hiccup tries to shut us down, and we answer with the story that started everything: two friends who met at Challenge Aspen, found a shared language on the mountain, and built a creative life that refuses to shrink to fit. The real co-host finally steps into the spotlight as we trace the arc from a purple walker on a snowy day to a 28-year friendship that powers books, interviews, and a podcast that became much more than a side project. We talk about what Challenge Aspen...

This is how a $75 “oops” launched a podcast about writing, tech, and disability
Send us a text A small “oops” turned into a loud yes. After years of writing through grief, learning by doing, and tapping a purple button that opened a world of audio, we’re launching a show built around one conviction: the craft of writing should be accessible, adaptable, and welcoming to every body. We explore how a tribute to a mother grew into “I, Win,” how strangers used that book to understand cerebral palsy, and why accessibility tools—speech dictation, AAC devices, and iPad-first wor...

My leg went “nope” after Botox and now I own a hospital bed
Send us a text A routine Botox visit turned into a medical detour when my knee locked and the first diagnosis didn’t fit. What looked like a psoas issue revealed itself as a full-on contracture, and that single word changed everything—treatment, expectations, and the pace of healing. I walk through the exact timeline, what we think happened during the injection, and how a rare nerve hit can spiral into days of pain and weeks of rehab, even when the clinician is skilled and careful. From ther...

When Injury Meets Determination: Balancing School and Healing

The Unexpected Road from Bedrest to Emergency Room

What should have been a simple antibiotic prescription turned into a medical drama when a nurse suggested I might have a blood clot, leading to miscommunication and an ambulance ride. • High risk for pneumonia due to cerebral palsy, weakened lungs, and being temporarily bed-bound • Called mobile urgent care when my doctor was unrespo...
