In this episode of ⁠Pushing Forward with Alycia⁠, I sit down with the Honorable ⁠Tony Coelho⁠, retired U.S. Congressman and the principal author of the ⁠Americans with Disabilities Act⁠, for a conversation that reaches far beyond disability policy. It's a history lesson, a civics class, and a moral compass all in one thirty minute session. As a nation founded in defiance of oppression and animated by the promise of freedom, we need the values in this conversation now—dignity, equal access, and the courage to stand up to power with truth and love. This is not just a disability story; it's a blueprint for renewing the American experiment. Tony's story is America's story: perseverance in the face of stigma, faith in community, and courageous, bipartisan coalition-building that turned lived experience into law. He reminds us that the ADA wasn't a gift; it was won through testimony, organizing, and unlikely alliances that honored human dignity over party lines. He also offers a clear charge for today: rights on paper are meaningless without enforcement, and opportunity is the measure of whether our promises are real. As we begin our celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) let us remember we can't afford to ignore the warnings of our past. If we don't learn from history, we are bound to repeat it.

Katey and Alycia have committed to a wake up at 5 am challenge. They have been struggling for weeks (okay years) to do it consistently and are determined to make it happen so are jump starting things with a challenge. Tune into hear learnings from their first week.

Alycia Mondavi grew up with a front row seat on the California wine stage. Growing up with that name gives you access but also may draw unwanted attention. Part of the deal is you must leave for five years before coming to work in the family business, something that we've seen in other family run wine operations. Alycia took the break, focused on law, then came back to join her sisters. She now heads brands that do 400 cases to 800,000 cases annually, some only available through allocation and others on every grocery store shelf. Her passion for design has helped her created unique labels on the wines, her allergies to gluten led her to add an ingredient label on the CK Mondavi series with nutritional information, including vegan, sugar and carbs. We weren't sure what to expect from this podcast, we had never met Alycia before, there was concern that she would just be a corporate talking head towing the family line. We realized quickly that she was an open book, sharing stories about her childhood, willing to talk about any subject on the table. We liked her. Hope you enjoy this one, lots of good stuff in here.

  Guest: Alycia Wood, Apologetics, Inc.   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   Loved chatting with Alycia Wood about life and how to navigate the current cultural chaos with the truth of God's Word. Alycia reminded us that we can use just about anything - movies, music, etc. to engage in meaningful conversations about spiritual and eternal things. C.S. Lewis in The Weight of Glory wrote about how “[t]here are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” This is a great reminder that everyone we meet is an eternal being - and will spend an eternity either with God…or separated from God.   As we near Easter, let's remember the significance of Jesus coming down to earth to live the perfect life that we couldn't, die the death that we deserve, and then he rose from the grave to defeat sin and death! With so much hopelessness in the world, 1 Peter 3:15 is a great reminder that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, need to be prepared to defend the HOPE that we have in Christ!
