What if accessibility wasn't treated like a checklist—but simply became part of how we care for one another? In this episode of The Healing Version, Deborah sits down with disability advocate, author, educator, and community leader Jenna Udenberg for an eye-opening conversation about disability, accessibility, inclusion, and the everyday barriers many of us never notice. Jenna shares why meeting ADA requirements should be the starting point—not the finish line, and how something as simple as a blocked access aisle, an inaccessible bathroom, or a poorly designed entrance can send the message that someone wasn't considered. They also discuss disability language, asking questions instead of making assumptions, representation, advocacy, and the importance of listening directly to disabled people about their own experiences. As Jenna reminds us, every disability experience is different—and true inclusion begins when we become curious enough to listen. This conversation will challenge you to look at the spaces around you differently—because once you see the barriers others face every day, you can't unsee them. 🎙️ The Healing Version — where healing, awareness, accountability, and real conversations meet. ----------------------------------------------------------------- BetterHelp Therapy: If you're struggling, consider therapy with our sponsor.
