Send us a text

It's the last podcast episode of 2024 and I'm ending it on a "high" note. My guests are Erika Bogan and Allison Norlian who was on last month sharing about her short film, Thirteen. This time, it's about Meandering Scars, a documentary that documents Erika’s journey to climb the tallest free standing mountain in the world to spread awareness about suicide and mental health struggles in the disability community. 

Meandering Scars was co-directed and co-produced by Allison and Kody Leibowitz, cofounders of BirdMine. 

Erika Bogan is a Spartan athlete, Motivator, Certified Master Mindset/ Mental Health Coach, recognized National Disability Advocate & lover of life, who is dedicated to motivating others to find their purpose through sharing her remarkable story of redefining her life after becoming paralyzed following a traumatic injury.

Our conversation highlights the filmmaking process and also the ups and downs of living with a physical disability. 

This episoide is the perfect represenation of all of themes that were talked about this year and I couldn't be prouder of how this one turned out.

Follow @birdminestories for all the updates on when the documentary will be released.

See you in 2025!
