    Pushing for Change: Why Open Conversations About Disability and Mental Health Are Game Changers

    We sit down with Matthew Rich Jr. for a raw, unfiltered conversation about identity, pressure, survival, and rebuilding yourself in real time. This episode cuts through performance and gets to the truth — what it means to navigate systems not built for you, carry weight you can’t always name, and keep showing up anyway. Matthew speaks openly about the internal battles, the expectations placed on men, and the reality of pushing forward when the world doesn’t slow down. This isn’t inspiration content — it’s lived experience, grounded in honesty and presence. If you’re searching for conversations about mental health, trauma recovery, men’s emotional resilience, identity, grief, or personal transformation, this episode delivers the kind of clarity and truth that algorithms can’t fake. Listen. Share. Push for change. 🎙️Pushing For Change Podcast Hosted by KB & Frankie James https://open.spotify.com/show/5wx2mLJ...

    Pushing For Change with Josh Green

    We recorded this interview with Josh in 2016. In it, he discusses his life with a disability and how wheelchair sports made an impact on his life. I thought this recording had been lost for years, and thus, Josh was never able to listen to the finished product before his passing. I hope this interview serves as a tribute to the person he was, and is enjoyed by his friends and family Share your thoughts by emailing us at thecruisincripples@gmail.com Show your support for our podcast 🔗 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/cruisincripples FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/cruisincripples TWITTER - https://mobile.twitter.com/cruisincripples INSTAGRAM -https://www.instagram.com/cruisincripples
