Welcome to the Conscious Being Podcast. Enjoy interviews with disabled women from many different backgrounds. Hear what makes them tick, what is their experience of disability in a very ableist world, and what are their dreams for the future of the disability community. Be challenged, learn, grow, and enjoy. In our special episode, on "International Mens Day," we celebrate the men in the disability community. We chat with Dan White, broadcaster, writer, artist, carer and activist, as well as Chris Whitaker, disability blogger and frequent tweeter. In our insightful and fun-filled (read: we laughed a lot) chat, we cover topics as wide ranging as mens mental health, through to disability representation in the media, through to allyship.
