Victoria Ann Jenkins - life with invisible Disability , changing the world through fashion, fighting the patriarchy and ableism, and the joys of eating beige
Hi, Thanks so much for listening to Episode 8! Victoria chats with us all about her struggles with a hidden disability, fighting the patriarchy and ableism before breakfast, the ups and downs of life with beige food and so much more.
This is an important episode to listen to if you’re a human living in this world (so pretty much only ghosts need not listen) because 1 in 7 people are Disabled in some way.
This episode has a ton of amazing show notes, Victoria has also kindly created an amazing document of terminology (both used in this episode and just good to know terms) Kristen’s reading list, resources and articles, but it doesn’t all fit in this space, so for a full look at the show notes take a peek at www.wellnessonthefarm.ca/podcast

Thank you so much for joining us for Episode 7! Today we are chatting with Shaun MacDonald, MCP, RCC.
