Excuse My Language, But…

Everyone I ask to be on the pod I preface them with, "I like to have real conversations with awesome people.” That’s exactly what this was. Down to earth and heartfelt realism with Zack Ruhl (@pitbullruhl)

Can’t begin to tell you how happy this conversation made me. It gave me so much hope that I’ll be able to find love one day, not in spite of my disability, but truly for who I am. Brooke (@honesttoquad) and Elena (@elena.pauly) are the co-creators of the organization WAGS of SCI, a support group for wives and girlfriends of individuals with spinal cord injuries and they’re absolutely amazing!

All of us with disabilities find ourselves in weird situations sometimes, but I feel like no one more than Ryann Kress!! Neither of us could pronounce her condition but it causes her entire body to be extremely elastic. Skin, bones, joints, all extremely flexible and stretchy and she shared some funny stories with me.

This episode is incredible. Me and Ziad Kassab (@abudanny) talk about how him and his siblings grew up improvising through life with a brother with a spinal cord injury. He breaks down how he's gotten to where he is as far as an entrepreneur of seven businesses, and what his aspirations are for the DMAN Foundation. Biggest message I took away was just how capable we all are of creating something that we can look at and call our own. The beauty of doing can surprise you, giving you a strength you might not have thought was there. so stop, collaborate and listen to these positive, encouraging, and motivational speakings. 

I had an awesome conversation with Laura Grace Beck (@anhonestquad) and her husband Jacob (@becksplorers). We talked about drinking and having fun, how you go about puking if you're in a chair, what being active outdoors entails, and why keeping your body healthy is so crucial.

I celebrate the anniversary of my accident, talk about my journey through these 9 years, and give encouragement to accepting this challenge and what's to come.

I talk with Jesi Stracham (@jesistracham) and Mark Herbert (@09kneedragger) about the glories of dating someone in a wheelchair, lack of bowel and bladder control with a spinal cord injury, and searching for someone who's willing to put in the work and effort that is required for sex 

In this episode I talk with Jesi Stracham about her adventures in the World's Toughest Mudder, trying out for the US Paralympics Curling team, and also about dating and having sex with someone in a wheelchair. 

In this episode I give my take on two blockbuster movies about guys with spinal cord injuries, The Upside and Me Before You. F*ck both of them. I follow up with a look into some of my favorite clips from movies and shows that have people with disabilities.

This episode I’m talking with my sister from the same mister, Desirae Clayborn! Beachbody coach, social media influencer, crazy cat lady 😋 In this we laughed, we cried, we shared what’s on our hearts. Follow Desirae on Instagram @thefitfastfoodie

In this episode I give an introduction to who I am and talk about the different perspectives of me that people had before my accident and after.
