  • Wow!

    Wow, this is the podcast I didn’t know I needed! After my Dad’s accident in 2018, which left him a C4 quadriplegic, we had no idea what was to become our new normal. Listening to all of these amazing people has been a beautiful form of therapy for me. This podcast perfectly shines a light on the strong and caring family and friends in the life of a person with a disability. Thanks guys!!
