FULL SHOW NOTES, COMING SOON –
Please welcome my dear friend Emily Ladau, who honestly felt like a warm and cozy cup of activist self-care. I, who also happens to be a killer-advocate for Disability rights, as well as the author of one of my (non-biased but) absolute favorite books on the subject: “Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to be an Ally.”
Our episode begins with a closer look and a bit of a story-time, of my very own “one short day” at the premiere of “Wicked: For Good”.Rounding out my interview with Emily, I share my gratitude for all of you, sweet audience of ours!
Content alert: If blubbering and happy-tears are at all a trigger to you, please keep scrolling and bless your sweet heart for getting thru today, alone! BELIEVE ME, that alone can be HEAVY some days, and big feelings are okay. Moments unacknowledged on-air:
- Emily, thank you for loving my nub heart and for thinking “it’s way cuter!!!”
- In my outro, I sadly forgot to mention and thank you to all of my OG’s & previous podcast guests, you know who you are from this podcast AND the last—you’re truly the real ones!
- Shout out as always to NBC Universal —
