My Body, My Choice (w/ Ashley & Erica Thomas)

Season 1 · Episode 10

Wednesday, February 14, 2024 • Duration 26:50

Sex? Relationships? Consent? Bodily autonomy? These are important topics for everyone to know about and discuss, but have remained sort of taboo around people with disabilities. Erica Thomas wants to change that.

She developed a program she calls 'My Body, My Choice' and it is all about giving information to people with disabilities so they can be empowered everywhere from the doctor's office to romantic relationships.

We start off with a conversation between Ashley, a person with disabilities that Erica supports, about what the program meant to her, what she learned, and how she applies it every day. Then Erica shares all of the components in her wide-ranging, empowering program.

Self-Advocacy and the Power of Being Heard (w/ Emily from Expert Tips by ADEC Self Advocates)

Season 1 · Episode 6

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 • Duration 35:02

This episode is all about self-advocacy in the podcast space. We've all heard someone say that the last thing we all need is another podcast, but we respectfully disagree! We discuss why the self-advocacy of people with disabilities is vitally important, and why the podcast medium is perfect for sharing experiences, normalizing disability, combating stigmatizations, and advocating for a better, more inclusive society.

After a brief discussion and spotlighting of a few podcasts to add to your library, Tricia DePalatis sits down with Emily from the podcast Expert Tips from ADEC Self Advocates. Emily shares her experience starting a podcast, the connection it's helped foster within her local community, and why the podcast is so important to her.

Unlearning Ableism (w/ Carli Friedman)

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 • Duration 51:42

We are so excited about this episode. Up first, you'll hear a conversation between Alli Strong-Martin and Carli Friedman, Director of Research at CQL (Council on Quality and Leadership). Carli talks about ableism; What it is? Why it's dangerous? And how to address changing it.

During the conversation, Carli discusses an assessment that she encourages everyone to take, including, and especially, people who work in the disability space.

So, in the second half of the episode, Andre Floyd and Tricia DePalatis did just that. They took the assessment and share their results. They discuss not feeling defensive, but using the tool as a means to encourage one another to be better.
