  • Would love to be on your show as a disabled, gay, survivor of a brain injury.

    I recently have found your podcast and I am extremely glad I did! I love the uncomfortable topics that a lot of people have a hard time talking about. I’m a very open book and would love to be on your podcast as another disabled gay male via zoom ! I use TikTok to help spread awareness for brain, injuries, and overdose awareness. I lost my ability to walk. Well talk well see and use my hands well. I suffered a brain injury, March 25, 2022! I’m based out of Connecticut, USA.
