We Can’t Do It Alone is a podcast about the helpers—the humans who’ve come in and out of our lives and have played a role in who we are today.
The teacher who fostered our love for reading. The partner who provided us with safety. The stranger who listened. The coach who believed in us when we didn’t. The friend who changed our mind. The dog who rescued us.
This show is a reminder that helping is who we are. It’s a part of us. It’s what makes this life beautiful. We’re shaped by the help we receive, and the help we give. Help comes in many forms, and it’s not always obvious. Every so often, time has to pass before we can see how we’ve been helped. Sometimes we take the help for granted. Other times help is just a passing moment.
In a world that obsessively valorizes individual strength, We Can’t Do It Alone celebrates why we’re truly here: the helpers. Each of us. Our collective. However large, no matter how small, and everything in between. Asking for help is courageous, receiving help is essential, and helping one another is who we are.
Because we all need help, and we can’t do it alone.

On this episode of We Can't Do It Alone, Nōn sits down with disability justice activist, founder of the Upgrade Accessibility movement, award-winning podcaster (The Politics of Disability), and author of Adventurous Adeline, Mary Fashik, to explore what it feels like for Mary, as someone who is immunocompromised, to see the world "move on" from Covid, why online activism is real activism, how Mary's community helped her realize that she had been living with multiple chronic conditions, and why all issues are disability justice issues.
