10 Surprising Facts About National Disability Employment Awareness Month — Win Charles | Ep 85

If you’re looking for real talk about what inclusion at work can look like—and what it actually takes—this episode is for you. Join me as I sit down with Win Charles, an author, podcaster, and Ironman triathlete living with cerebral palsy. Win opens up about building a career on her own terms, from writing her memoir to producing 1,500+ podcast episodes. In this conversation, we get into the small, practical changes that make workplaces welcoming (hint: think beyond awareness months), and how sometimes the biggest breakthroughs start with simply saying “hi” to someone different from you.

For creators and podcasters, you’ll pick up ideas on:

How sharing your own story can encourage others to create and connect in unexpected ways.
The nuts and bolts of producing a podcast solo—even when you’re teaching yourself as you go.
Why “it takes a village” applies to creativity and caregiving alike.

Win’s openness about her journey—from teaching to podcasting to overcoming adversity—offers a fresh perspective on belonging, creativity, and making every day count.
