    Beyond the Wheelchair: Disability, Inclusion, and Redefining What Is Possible With Jenna Udenberg

    Beyond the Wheelchair: Disability, Inclusion, and Redefining What Is Possible How often do we make assumptions about what people can or cannot do based on what we see? My guest today is Jenna Udenberg, an author, disability advocate, and accessibility educator who has spent much of her life challenging perceptions and creating more inclusive spaces. Diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis at the age of seven, Jenna has used a manual wheelchair since she was eight. A former music educator of 19 years, Jenna is a 2020 Bush Fellow whose work focuses on accessibility, representation, and community inclusion. She is also the author of Within My Spokes, a book that shares personal stories of perseverance, healing, relationships, and life from her perspective. In this conversation, Jenna and I discuss growing up with a disability, navigating a world that is not always designed with everyone in mind, and why accessibility should matter to all of us. We also explore the assumptions people make about disability, the importance of representation, and what individuals and communities can do to create more inclusive environments. Whether you have a disability, know someone who does, or simply want to understand how to make the world more accessible, this conversation challenges us to look beyond appearances and rethink what inclusion really means.

    Forgive Them for Your Own Peace: How to Let Go of Emotional Baggage With Katharine Giovanni

    Getting Them Out of Your Head: The Real Meaning of Forgiveness Have you ever found yourself replaying something someone did to you, even years after it happened? You may no longer speak to that person, but the hurt, anger, or resentment still follows you. My guest today is Katharine Giovanni, a three-time award-winning bestselling author, international speaker, forgiveness educator, and intuitive. Through her practical approach to forgiveness, she helps people release the emotional weight of past experiences and find a way forward. Having navigated childhood trauma, stage 3 breast cancer, and more than three decades of sobriety, Katharine brings both personal experience and practical tools to conversations about healing and personal growth. She is also the author of sixteen books, including The Ultimate Path to Forgiveness: Unlocking Your Power. In this conversation, we explore what forgiveness actually means, why it is not the same as excusing someone’s behaviour, and how holding on to anger, guilt, and resentment can affect our ability to move forward. We also discuss how to begin forgiving when the hurt is still there and why choosing peace does not mean pretending the past never happened. If there is something or someone you have struggled to let go of, this conversation may help you see forgiveness from a different perspective.
