In this episode of Book Lounge by Libby, we're going Beyond the Label to explore stories of disability, neurodivergence, and chronic illness — both on and off the page. In Segment 1, Joe is joined by Marie Myung-Ok Lee, who opens up about her experiences as a mother to a child with disabilities. She reflects on the fears, challenges, and moments of triumph that have shaped her perspective as both a parent and a writer. Marie also shares how her Korean-American identity and personal experiences influence her work and the stories she tells. Then, in Segment 2, Joe, Cece, and Meara highlight books that feature characters who go beyond the label — stories where differences drive the narrative and reveal the beauty in experiencing the world another way. ✨ A heartfelt, thoughtful episode celebrating empathy, awareness, and the power of storytelling to expand our understanding of others — and ourselves.

The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
Beyond Coping: Radical Healing in a World Not Built for Us – An Interview with José Rosario Curt and Katie chat with José Rosario about radical healing, disability, cultural trauma, and intersectionality. José shares his story as a scholar, practitioner, and activist, and how his lived experience as a disabled person of color who is also queer informs both his clinical work and research. He discusses how healing must move beyond coping, the importance of community engagement, and how therapists can better support clients with marginalized identities. About Our Guest: José Rosario Born to young Puerto Rican parents, José Rosario developed Cerebral Palsy as a premature baby. His family's journey towards equity deeply impacted his mental health. Currently nearing his PhD in Clinical Psychology, his research focuses on cultural trauma in intersectional communities. He is an Interdisciplinary Minority Fellow for the American Psychological Association, member of the Congressional Diversity and Equality Advisory Board for Congressman James Langevin, and member of the Rhode Island Attorney General Community Advisory Board. He has been honored with the Chris Martin Humanitarian Award and the Victoria Lederberg Award for Excellence in Psychology. Key Takeaways for Therapists Radical healing means moving beyond coping to systemic change and community-based healing. Disability, race, and queerness intersect in ways that compound stigma and systemic barriers. Community is both a source of hope and a vital element of healing. Therapists must step outside the therapy room and engage genuinely with the communities they serve.

One of Mayor Mike Johnston's biggest priorities this year is showing Denverites how much better 16th St. looks post-construction.

Former Republican congressional candidate Valdamar Archuleta joins producers Paul Karolyi and Olivia Jewell Love to talk about the mayor's downtown shopping spree.

Interviewee: Bassel Shanab, BS is a fourth-year medical student at the Yale School of Medicine. Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science sits down with Bassel Shanab (Yale School of Medicine), co-first author of “The Intersection of Disability, Race, Ethnicity, and Financial Background on Food Insecurity Among Medical Students,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. We move beyond prevalence rates to the lived realities behind them—and why hunger so often hides in plain sight in elite training environments. Bassel shares the personal experiences that shaped his questions, the multi-institutional data that sharpened the answers, and the practical moves any school can make now: screen routinely, get cost-of-living estimates right, normalize help-seeking, and invest in evidence-based campus supports. Along the way, we talk flourishing (not just “fixing”), student-led research networks, and why transparency beats stigma every time. Whether you're a dean, DRP, faculty member, or student, this conversation offers a humane roadmap from surviving to thriving. Links to the open-access article, and related tools are in the show notes.

Artificial intelligence has cemented itself as the latest world-altering technology. It follows the same lineage as electricity, the television, the internet — the list goes on. Depending on who you talk to, AI is the greatest thing ever or the thing that will destroy the world, with lots of room in the middle for discussion and experimentation. But within the bigger AI fascination, there's a smaller yet critical conversation about how this technology might help or harm people who learn and think differently. That's why we brought in Dr. Amy Gaeta for this week's “Hyperfocus.” She's an AI ethicist and researcher who also has autism, giving her a unique insight that she shares on our latest episode.

In this episode of Read the Damn Book, host Michelle Glogovac sits down with anthropologist and author Danilyn Rutherford to discuss her powerful memoir Beautiful Mystery. The book chronicles Rutherford's journey as a mother to her daughter Millie, who lives with an undiagnosed disability. Together, Michelle and Danilyn explore themes of parenting, communication, caregiving, and loss, while also examining the political and social realities of healthcare and support systems for people with disabilities. Rutherford shares moving insights on the importance of empathy, resilience, and community, while celebrating the rich social worlds that children like Millie create.What We're Talking About...Millie's way of expressing herself shows the power of creativity and understanding in disability communication.Caregiving is essential for supporting children and adults with disabilities.Loss can reshape how families approach life, caregiving, and compassion.Disability support networks often lack stability and require stronger advocacy.Understanding and empathy are at the heart of building meaningful relationships.Millie's life demonstrates how individuals with disabilities enrich entire communities.Policy decisions directly affect healthcare access and the well-being of vulnerable populations.Every relationship—family, friends, community—matters in shaping support and love.Perspective-taking fosters deeper compassion and understanding.Stronger advocacy for healthcare and disability services is vital for families like Millie's.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background04:33 Understanding Millie's Condition07:33 The Importance of Communication10:44 The Role of Caregivers13:25 Navigating Loss and Grief16:41 The Impact of Community19:39 Empathy and Understanding22:06 Political Implications of Care24:48 Conclusion and Call to Action30:21 The Urgency of Healthcare Advocacy30:52 Understanding Millie's Story and Its ImpactLinks MentionedPurchase Beautiful Mystery: https://www.dukeupress.edu/beautiful-mysteryDanilyn Rutherford's website: https://danilynrutherford.com/about

Have a comment or question? Click this sentence to send us a message, and we might answer it in a future episode.Welcome to Season 5, Episode 32 of Winning Isn't Easy. In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "Disability Claims: Your Questions About the Medical Side, Answered."Most people assume proving disability is as simple as saying, “I can't work.” But in ERISA claims, the medical side is where cases are often won - or lost. A diagnosis or doctor's note isn't enough. Carriers want detailed, consistent proof showing exactly how your conditions limit your ability to function. In this episode of Winning Isn't Easy, we're answering your medical questions about disability claims - and breaking down the traps insurers use to deny benefits. What happens when multiple conditions - like back pain, fatigue, and migraines - keep you from working, but insurers minimize their combined effect? How do mental health caps and exclusions for “subjective” conditions like fibromyalgia change your claim? And what are insurers really looking for in your medical records? Disability law expert Nancy L. Cavey explains how to use residual functional capacity forms to your advantage, avoid policy pitfalls, and make sure your records tell the full story. We'll also tackle listener-submitted medical questions with practical steps you can use right now. If you've worried about whether your documentation is strong enough or struggled to show how your conditions prevent you from working, this episode will give you the tools - and confidence - to protect your benefits.

A medical career is more than treating patients. For young doctors, the hospital or clinic becomes a place where knowledge, endurance, and compassion are tested. Behind the white coat, there's a challenge often overlooked: securing your financial future while building your career. The pressure to get ahead can make it easy to focus only on work, leaving finances unprotected. Debt, delayed savings, and unplanned expenses can cost more than money. True success comes from planning, budgeting, and protecting yourself. Saving early, investing wisely, and having proper insurance may not feel exciting, but they create a foundation that lasts. Setbacks like unexpected costs or career shifts remind us that preparation and patience matter. The real goal goes beyond mastering medicine today. It is about protecting your earning potential, cultivating discipline, and building a financial foundation strong enough to support dreams for decades. In medicine and life, victories that endure come from preparation, patience, and perspective. In this episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess shares his journey from medical school through residency and into his early attending years, highlighting the challenges of managing student loans, budgeting, and lifestyle creep. He explains the importance of disability insurance, automating finances, paying yourself first, and building multiple income streams. We also explore how financial literacy can reduce stress, provide peace of mind, and give physicians the freedom to make career and life choices without feeling trapped. "If you lose part of your function, you can lose your ability to take care of patients. You have to protect your ability to do your job and your ability to take care of your family, take care of yourself." - Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:01:14) Milestones in Dr. Burgess' career journey (00:03:09) Financial reality and challenges in career training (00:07:43) Budgeting & frugality (00:10:24) Disability insurance & peace of mind (00:12:42) Protect your income as your biggest asset (00:15:32) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

(00:29:44) Advice to young physicians Key Takeaways: "We think about getting that dream job and living happily ever after. However, for many people, that dream job can become a nightmare." "If you don't tell your money what to do, it will do it until you deal with the consequences later." "As a surgeon, every time I walk in the operating room, I have peace of mind knowing that my hands are protected, knowing that my whole body is protected." "We have a hard time making money without working, so to speak. We're so used to being present, exchanging our time for money that it almost seems foreign that I can invest this money and I wake up in the morning and the paycheck is there." "I think we're so highly trained and so highly specialized that many times we have a hard time seeing the world outside of what we do." "The better stewards you are with your money, you're able to introduce more of those interests."

We welcome Jill Amy Sager—an award-winning author, public speaker, intuitive Tarot reader, and spiritual channel whose story is as inspiring as it is transformative. Jill's journey began in the late 1970s when she first studied Tarot, never imagining that it would lead her to channel wisdom from the Universe—what she lovingly calls “Guidance.” Over time, her gift as a spiritual medium grew, and today she serves an international clientele, offering clarity, healing, and connection through the Tarot and intuitive messages. Born with a physical disability, Jill spent much of her childhood in hospitals, facing the stigma of being a disabled child in the 1960s. What once left her feeling unworthy ultimately became the foundation of her strength. She credits the wisdom of the Tarot and the love of Universal Guidance for transforming her self-image and helping her embrace a life of confidence and purpose. Her creative journey is just as remarkable. Once a percussionist, Jill became an author when her book Beginning Hand Drumming: A Guide to Recreation and Wellness was published by Carl Fischer Music. Since then, her work has been featured in outlets such as Women Writers, Women's Books, Story Circle, Awakened Magazine, The Register Guard, Silver Birch Press, Authority Magazine, and The Power of Each Breath: A Disabled Women's Anthology. In this episode, Jill shares: How Tarot can be a tool for empowerment and spiritual guidance Her experience of overcoming stigma and disability to embrace her worth The evolution from musician to writer to intuitive healer How “Guidance” continues to shape her life and inspire her global community Join us for an uplifting conversation about resilience, spirituality, and the transformative power of trusting Universal wisdom.

Together, we explore four critical decision points that can shape the trajectory of disabled medical students as they move from UME to GME: Disclosure decisions Specialty selection Program selection Requesting and utilizing accommodations in residency Zoie and Nalinda share how research, mentorship, and community informed their work, and why bridging this “black box” transition period is essential for cultivating a more inclusive profession. Whether you're a program director, DRP, advisor, or student, this episode offers insights and concrete strategies to ensure learners are not just surviving this pivotal transition—but thriving. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes. Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h4bh81klK-mfP3grm5LNzmYp-czCEP_haP704aJBekk/edit?usp=sharing Bios: Nalinda Charnsangavej, MD is Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin where she serves as the pediatric residency program director. She serves as Co-Chair of the Disability in Graduate Medical Education group as part of the Docs with Disabilities Initiative and Co-Chair of the UME to GME Transitions Committee for the Disability Resource Hub -- the result of a collaboration between the ACGME and DWDI. As a program director, she is interested in fostering a healthy and supportive learning environment that promotes physician well-being and resilience. Her current work focuses on the transition from medical school to residency training and how to support learners with disabilities during this critical transition period. Outside of medical education, she enjoys spending time with her family, teaching her children how to cook, and attending Texas Longhorn sporting events. Zoie C. Sheets, MD, MPH is a resident physician in internal medicine and pediatrics (Med/Peds) at the University of Chicago. She is also a leader within the Docs with Disabilities Initiative, serving as Co-Chair of the Disability in Graduate Medical Education group and Co-Chair of the UME to GME Transitions Committee for the creation of a Disability Resource Hub — a collaboration between ACGME and DWDI. She believes deeply that increasing the number of disabled clinicians can transform medical education and practice, for providers and patients alike. Her current research focus centers on how graduate medical education can best support learners with disabilities, particularly during the challenging transition out of UME. In her free time, Zoie loves to read, re-watch too many medical dramas, and play with her two cats!

Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions.

As a parent, Daria Brown had some difficult decisions to make about choosing the right path for her young autistic child and her family. She chose a developmental relationship- based approach as it resonated with her as the best fit for her child. That choice led to a professional career in supporting parents, and also to her own late diagnosis as an autistic person. Barry and Dave discussed this choice with Daria, and how her journey has evolved.Learn more on our websiteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
