Podcasts about abilities

In this episode, I connect with Jacob Davis, host of The Cities in Motion Podcast, for a discussion about what led him to want to host an urbanism and sustainable communities podcast that channels the tenets of the Strong Towns and Active Towns movements. We also profile the opening of the new Wishbone Bridge, which closes a critical gap on the Butler Hike & Bike Trail around Ladybird Lake in Austin, TX.Helpful Links (note that some may include affiliate links to help me support the channel):

The roar of wheelchairs on polished concrete. New tech that solves old problems. Strangers who feel like friends in under five minutes. From the floor of Abilities Expo Dallas, we sit down with Kristina Rhoades—exhibitor liaison, long-time attendee, and lifelong wheelchair user—to explore how a single weekend can recharge purpose, expand access, and remind you you're not alone.We dig into what makes Abilities Expo a keystone for the disability community: forty-plus years of consistent presence, seven U.S. cities, and a living marketplace of adaptive gear, services, and ideas. Kristina shares her path from an injury at ten months old to building a life filled with love, work she cares about, and a tight-knit creative town in New Mexico. Her perspective cuts through pity narratives and lands on agency: happiness is a choice we make daily, even when the past keeps knocking.We also trace our own journey—from a military-track car accident to a first Expo visit in 2018, then a leap of faith in 2021 to host a booth that grew our community from 8.8k to 90k. The throughline is simple: proximity accelerates progress. Being in the room—or the aisle—puts you in reach of mentors, better equipment, travel hacks, and friendships that lift your ceiling. We swap plans for Chicago and Long Beach, talk hometown dreams, and balance heavy truths with humor, because resilience is both muscle and music.If you're navigating disability, caregiving, or allyship, this conversation offers practical insight and emotional oxygen. You'll hear why events like Abilities Expo aren't just showcases; they're engines of momentum where stories and solutions meet. Tap play, share it with someone who needs a boost, and leave a review so more people can find this show. And if you're headed to a future Expo, come say hi—we'll be the ones chasing connection and cheering for your next chapter.

Every D&D party has that one character who brings a sword, one who brings a spellbook… and one who brings unresolved childhood issues and a willingness to fist-fight a dragon. Welcome to the Pugilist. Today we explore a popular D&D homebrew martial class fueled by bad decisions, Moxie points, and the medically concerning belief that exhaustion is just another resource pool. If the Barbarian is rage and the Monk is discipline, the Pugilist is: "I didn't hear no bell." Show Notes  In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts dive into a detailed overview of the Pugilist class in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, a popular homebrew martial character class created by Benjamin Huffman known for gritty street-fighter flavor and unconventional resource management. The discussion begins with the class fantasy: a bare-knuckle brawler inspired equally by boxing legends and tavern disasters. Unlike traditional D&D martial classes, the Pugilist 5e mechanics revolve around Moxie points, a flexible combat resource used for survivability, control, and burst damage rather than spells or rage. The hosts analyze how the class converts risk into power through its signature exhaustion-based gameplay design. Instead of avoiding exhaustion like most characters in a tabletop RPG, the Pugilist weaponizes it — gaining resistances, bonuses, and survivability through abilities such as Dig Deep and Bloodied but Unbowed. This creates a unique resource management strategy in D&D combat where players intentionally flirt with collapse for tactical advantage. A major portion of the conversation compares the Pugilist to other martial classes, examining damage scaling in D&D 5e, balance concerns, and how improvised weapons and grappling expand combat options. The class excels at battlefield control: shoving, grappling, and repositioning enemies while converting failed rolls into successes through Swagger-style mechanics. The hosts also discuss community reception of the class and how its design still maintains strong mechanical identity. Ultimately, the Pugilist demonstrates that a well-designed homebrew D&D class can be both flavorful and mechanically interesting — even when its primary strategy is punching reality until it cooperates. Key Takeaways The Pugilist class (D&D 5e homebrew) offers a high-flavor alternative to Monk or Barbarian martial gameplay. Moxie points function as a flexible combat resource for defense, mobility, and burst damage. The class uniquely uses exhaustion as a tactical resource instead of a punishment. Abilities like Dig Deep encourage risk-reward decision making during combat. Improvised weapons and grappling make the Pugilist a strong battlefield control martial build. Damage scaling competes with official classes but depends heavily on player tactics. The design emphasizes creative play over strict optimization balance. Failure mitigation mechanics allow recovery from bad rolls. The class rewards aggressive positioning and close-quarters strategies. Community discussion focuses on balance vs fun — and the Pugilist clearly chooses fun.

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Whistleblowers are coming forward with a chilling new narrative: the secret space program has shifted from exploration to active combat. In this episode of Far Out With Faust, we investigate allegations that a covert interstellar conflict is being waged using photon electromagnetic pulse weapons and craft that require a consciousness-based interface to operate.Perhaps most shocking is the claim that the recruitment for this "Space War" began in American public schools. We examine the potential connection between the Department of Defense and the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program, exploring whether psychological screening and "Hemi-Sync" tonal conditioning were used to identify and prepare children for a life in the shadows.In this conversation, we dive into the infrastructure of this alleged interstellar fleet—including the USS Curtis LeMay and the USS Roscoe Hillenkoetter—and the parallel military research into consciousness that traces back to the CIA's Stanford Research Institute. This is a deep dive into the "Immaculate Constellation" and the hidden systems hiding in plain sight within our own classrooms.In this episode:- The Combat Shift: Why new whistleblowers claim the secret space program is no longer about exploration, but active warfare.- The Interstellar Fleet: Reports of advanced spacecraft like the USS Curtis LeMay and the Deep Quantum Tunneling Protocol.- Psionic Interfaces: Why traditional mechanical controls are insufficient for advanced non-human craft and require cognitive interfacing.- The GATE Selection System: Examining allegations that gifted student programs functioned as a multi-layered screening process for defense contractors.- Neuroplasticity & Recruitment: Why children between ages two and ten were allegedly targeted for specialized training and "astral" retrieval.- Immaculate Constellation: The program name referenced in connection to structured training environments for clandestine operations.- The Gateway Process: A look at the Army's 1983 assessment of hemispheric synchronization and frequency-based cognitive techniques.- Non-Human Collaboration: Claims of alleged cooperation with "Tall White" extraterrestrials and the suppression of advanced energy systems.- Tracking the UAP: The role of "Golden Domes" and the Global Access Program in tracking infrastructure.- The 1988 Sunset Review: Why some California school districts spent up to fifty percent of their funding on "identification" rather than instruction.This isn't just a conspiracy theory; it is an exploration of how the most ordinary classrooms in America may be connected to a global, interstellar infrastructure far bigger than anyone ever imagined.Join Us On Patreon For uncensored episodes, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive community access: https://patreon.com/FarOutWithFaustListen on Spotify + Apple PodcastsSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6StPwgq2di3f8uxnc6SmIfApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/far-out-with-faust-fowf/id1533017218FOWF & Faust Checho on SOCIALhttps://www.instagram.com/faroutwithfaust/https://www.instagram.com/theonefaustchecho/https://www.facebook.com/Faroutwithfausthttps://www.facebook.com/faustchecho/https://x.com/faustchechoQUESTION THE ANSWERS™#SecretSpaceProgram #GATE #UAPwe'd love to hear from you

Hello to you listening in Pasadena, California! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been binge-watching The Big Bang Theory TV series as I do this time each year to humor me through our Pacific Northwest November to May Rain Festival. As you might know a consistent theme is the characters' devotion to comics and superheroes. Why? The characters are highly intelligent, socially awkward nerds who have difficulty navigating society whereas the superheroes possess save-the-day abilities, rare powers, and bravery. Comics can be a safe place to fantasize living idealized versions of themselves as the nerd-turned-hero. But what do the Superheroes have to say about living life as a Superhero? Following are 7 quotes: 1. “When you decide not to be afraid you can find friends in super unexpected places.” — Ms. Marvel 2. “Everybody's story begins “once upon a time,” and it's up to us to cherish the time we're given to ensure we live happily ever after.” — Scarlet Witch 3. “I have no idea where I'm going to be tomorrow but I accept the fact that tomorrow will come and I'm going to rise to meet it.” — Donna Troy 4. “The fate of your planet rests not in the hands of gods. It rests in the hands of mortals.” — Thor 5. “The future is worth it. All the pain. All the tears. The future is worth the fight.” — Martian Manhunter 6. “The door is more than it appears. It separates who you are from who you can be. You do not have to walk through it… You can run.” — Franklin Richards 7. “A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple as putting a coat around a little boy's shoulders to let him know the world hasn't ended.” — Batman Story Prompt: For a long time your character has felt that she is more than she appears to be but does not believe she has what it takes to show up fully in her power until one day a door appears in a wall and she .... write that story and share it out loud!    You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

You're not crazy, bestie. Today is a wisdom-packed dive into how trauma (especially dissociation and freeze response) can “wake up” intuitive abilities like out-of-body experiences, intuitive, and even psychic abilities. I share my personal childhood stories, show you how to nurture dormant gifts, and most importantly- How to protect yourself from dangerous spiritual paths, as you heal.Resources From Today's Episode:

Ever walked into a room full of neurodivergent people and thought, "Oh no, what if I'm NOT actually ADHD? What if I don't belong here either?" Yeah. That's a thing. And it's weirdly universal.This week, David and Isabelle are taking you inside the Neurodiversity Alliance Leadership Summit in Denver for a special live recording with Jesse Sanchez, President of the Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye). If Jesse's name sounds familiar, that's because he joined us recently to talk about mentorship and the intersectionality of neurodivergence with race, class, and systemic barriers. This time, we're bringing you the live conversation that started it all!The Neurodiversity Alliance brings together neurodivergent young adults and teens who mentor younger neurodivergent kids through art projects, advocacy, and identity work. The ND Alliance Leadership Summit is where their mentors and leaders gather for training, and David and Isabelle got to do a live podcast on stage in front of the whole group.What "finding your people" actually means when you have ADHD is more than just support. It's about finally stopping the cycle of feeling like a broken, defective version of a person and starting to feel like you belong. Jesse talks about showing up to his first summit 15 years ago "ADHD curious," terrified he wouldn't get the diagnosis and therefore wouldn't get to be part of this incredible community. Isabelle tears up remembering the moment David brought her to her first ND Alliance event and she realized, "Oh. OH. This is me." And David reflects on two decades of watching this organization do something he's never seen anywhere else: teach neurodivergent kids that being different doesn't mean being deficient.This isn't a "yay, you found support!" episode. This is about finding your SHAPE (your superpowers, your heart, your abilities, your personality, your experiences) and realizing your worth has absolutely nothing to do with how much money you make or how well you perform. It's about walking into a room where you don't have to mask, where everyone's fidgeting, and where "wait, you do that too?" is the most healing sentence in the English language.If you've ever felt inadequate, like you're failing at being a person, or like you don't quite fit anywhere, grab tissues. This one's for you.Here's what's coming your way:Jesse's journey from "ADHD curious" to diagnosed adult to president of the organization that changed his lifeWhy the fear of NOT being neurodivergent enough to belong is just as real as the fear of having ADHDThe moment Isabelle realized she had ADHD and David said "welcome to the community" (she's still not over it)What "finding your SHAPE" actually means and why it's the key to career alignment and callingWhy neurodiversity creates connection across race, class, and identity in ways other affinity spaces sometimes struggle withWhat Jesse would tell his 10-year-old self (spoiler: "You are worthy and loved beyond measure, and no one can take that from you")How the Neurodiversity Alliance is literally changing education by teaching kids to talk about their brains with mastery instead of shame-------Wait, What's That? Here are some of the terms and people mentioned in this episode explained:Neurodiversity Alliance (formerly Eye to Eye): An organization where neurodivergent young adults and teens mentor younger neurodivergent kids through art projects and advocacy work. The rebrand reflects what they actually do: build an alliance of humans across the neurodivergent spectrum who know how to tell their full stories, vulnerabilities and superpowers included."ADHD Curious": Jesse's term for showing up to his first summit without a formal diagnosis but knowing something was going on. He was literally exploring his own brain to figure out if neurodivergence explained his life.Masking: Hiding or suppressing your natural neurodivergent behaviors to fit neurotypical expectations. Isabelle talks about being hyper-aware she's masking on stage but also being able to fidget and move in ways that feel freeing instead of shameful.The "SHAPE" Framework: An acrostic Jesse uses for career alignmentS = Superpowers (what you're naturally great at)H = Heart (what motivates you)A = Abilities (what you can actually do)P = Personality (how you show up in the world)E = Experiences (what you bring from your journey)Job vs. Career vs. Calling: Jesse breaks it down: a job pays the bills, a career is something you're invested in growing long-term, and a calling is something bigger than you (something you feel pulled toward whether you like it or not).Metacognitive Skills: The ability to think about your own thinking (understanding how your brain works, what you need, and how you learn best). The ND Alliance teaches kids to get really good at talking about their learning styles instead of hiding them.-------

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Watts to talk about something so many parents and caregivers quietly wrestle with, how to stay fired up in the middle of responsibility, burnout, and the weight of shoulds. Shannon is the founder of Moms Demand Action and the author of Fired Up, and our conversation goes far beyond advocacy. We talk about identity, purpose, and what happens when women are taught to put obligation ahead of desire for most of their lives. This episode is about what it looks like to reconnect with yourself, not by blowing up your life, but by getting honest about what matters. Topics we cover include: Why so many women are taught to fulfill obligations before desires How guilt, fear, and perfectionism drain motivation The difference between purpose and being purposeful Imposter syndrome and fear of public failure Parenting, fulfillment, and modeling self trust for kids Community as a key part of sustainable change Why wanting more does not mean you are ungrateful To connect with Shannon Watts follow her on Instagram @shannonrwatts, check out all her resources at https://shannonwatts.org/home/ and buy her book “Fired Up” https://www.firedupbook.com/.  00:00 – Choosing Hope Over Cynicism 00:38 – Why This Conversation Matters Right Now 01:31 – Meet Shannon Watts 02:55 – Staying Fired Up Without Burning Out 03:36 – Leaving California and Finding Community 05:55 – Talking Across Differences 07:17 – Why Women Feel Stuck in Obligation 08:35 – The Moment Everything Changed 10:22 – Desire vs Obligation 12:45 – It Is Never Too Late 15:13 – Rethinking Legacy and Guilt 18:06 – What Kids Really Learn From Us 20:12 – Losing Forward and Redefining Failure 23:21 – Handling Blowback and Shame 25:27 – Imposter Syndrome and Being the First 27:59 – Values, Abilities, and Desires 32:18 – Finding Your People 37:22 – Parenting, Purpose, and Modeling Fire 40:48 – The First Step to Living on Fire 42:51 – Final Reflections Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Watts to talk about something so many parents and caregivers quietly wrestle with, how to stay fired up in the middle of responsibility, burnout, and the weight of shoulds. Shannon is the founder of Moms Demand Action and the author of Fired Up, and our conversation goes far beyond advocacy. We talk about identity, purpose, and what happens when women are taught to put obligation ahead of desire for most of their lives. This episode is about what it looks like to reconnect with yourself, not by blowing up your life, but by getting honest about what matters. Topics we cover include: Why so many women are taught to fulfill obligations before desires How guilt, fear, and perfectionism drain motivation The difference between purpose and being purposeful Imposter syndrome and fear of public failure Parenting, fulfillment, and modeling self trust for kids Community as a key part of sustainable change Why wanting more does not mean you are ungrateful To connect with Shannon Watts follow her on Instagram @shannonrwatts, check out all her resources at https://shannonwatts.org/home/ and buy her book “Fired Up” https://www.firedupbook.com/.  00:00 – Choosing Hope Over Cynicism 00:38 – Why This Conversation Matters Right Now 01:31 – Meet Shannon Watts 02:55 – Staying Fired Up Without Burning Out 03:36 – Leaving California and Finding Community 05:55 – Talking Across Differences 07:17 – Why Women Feel Stuck in Obligation 08:35 – The Moment Everything Changed 10:22 – Desire vs Obligation 12:45 – It Is Never Too Late 15:13 – Rethinking Legacy and Guilt 18:06 – What Kids Really Learn From Us 20:12 – Losing Forward and Redefining Failure 23:21 – Handling Blowback and Shame 25:27 – Imposter Syndrome and Being the First 27:59 – Values, Abilities, and Desires 32:18 – Finding Your People 37:22 – Parenting, Purpose, and Modeling Fire 40:48 – The First Step to Living on Fire 42:51 – Final Reflections Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

Discover the inspiring story behind "Abilities," a debut graphic novel by special educator, author, and illustrator Michelle Maclean, as featured in this episode of Reading With Your Kids. Michelle joins host Jed Doherty to share her passion for empowering students with special needs and how her real-life classroom experiences inspired her to create authentic, humorous, and relatable characters. Michelle dives into the five-year journey of developing "Abilities"—a book born from her desire to help children with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and social-emotional challenges see their strengths and embrace their uniqueness. Listeners will love hearing Michelle break down the personalities and talents of her four main characters, each designed to reflect diverse learning abilities, and explain why representation and humor in children's literature matter so much. The conversation also tackles important topics in special education, like how evolving curricula can limit teacher creativity and why it's essential to focus on students' passions. Michelle's story is a heartfelt reminder of the positive impact educators can have when they blend their own talents with a commitment to advocacy. Plus, hear from author Elizabeth Lizu, who discusses her early chapter book "My Little Cousin" and the Cayden's Faith Adventures series—a perfect choice for families looking to nurture empathy and faith through relatable, accessible storytelling. Tune in for an uplifting look at how children's books can foster confidence, connection, and kindness.
