Marcia speaks with Brandi, a personal trainer and dyslexic artist with Narcolepsy. Brandi gives us the real on narcolepsy, which is totally different from what Hollywood sells us. She also shares her navigating her new body and building new businesses while living with a chronic illness. Listen for great tips on pacing and fatigue management and maybe to laugh at our corny AF jokes.

In this episode, fellow powerlifter Rachael discusses how she’s navigated with a late diagnosis of ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and sensory issues both in the workplace and in strength sports. Aside from accommodation and communication, it all comes down to being treated as human. We are not machines!

This episode was so much fun to say the least. Kim Kelly, badass author, labor journalist, former VICE staffer, circus act, roadie and everything in between, shared her experience with putting ectrodactyly on a performing stage and traveling across towns as what sideshows called the “Lobster Girl.” Then writing about the beauties and flaws of heavy metal turned into labor rights and disability justice pieces and recently led to a book tour for her newest book, ‘FIGHT LIKE HELL: The Untold History of American Labor.'

Marcia & Marybeth meet Moriah, a wheelchair user with polio that was adopted from India as a child. We discuss discrimination based on physical disability, culture shock as a child in a new country, and all the silly assumptions made by able bodied people that grind our gears. Grab a glass of wine and get ready for a good old fashioned vent session.
