We’re Dan and Andrea Kotter—parents of six, best friends, and partners in chaos. After Dan’s accident left him paralyzed, life changed—but so did our perspective. On this podcast, we share the real, unfiltered journey of raising a big family, navigating marriage, disability, faith, and finding joy in the mess. It’s raw, it’s honest, and sometimes hilarious. Whether you’re here for the parenting stories or the deeper conversations—we’re glad you’re here.

In this episode, we dive deep into the everyday challenges faced by wheelchair users, highlighting the significant gap between claimed accessibility and actual experience. Sharing personal stories from travel mishaps to inaccessible public places like hotels, pharmacies, and concert venues, we underscore the critical need for genuine accessibility. From narrow doorways to steep ramps and poorly designed facilities, we hope to enlighten and challenge viewers to rethink accessibility in their environments. This episode also touches on the importance of custom-built wheelchairs and the detailed considerations that go into making a space truly accessible.
