Show notes: What does accessibility really look like in the wedding industry?This week, I'm chatting to Charlotte Rowe, founder of The Unseen Weddings, about her experience of planning her own wedding as a disabled bride and the lack of accessibility and representation she has encountered along the way.From struggling to find genuinely accessible venues to seeing very little representation at wedding shows, Charlotte shares some of the experiences that inspired her to start The Unseen Weddings project.We talk about why simply describing somewhere as “wheelchair accessible” isn't always enough, why asking couples what they actually need is so important, and how accessibility can look completely different from person to person.And it isn't just about venues. We explore what photographers, florists, DJs, planners and other wedding professionals can do to make their businesses more inclusive; from asking better questions during consultations to thinking about sensory needs, mobility aids, photography and representation.Charlotte also shares some of the positive experiences she's had, including a wonderfully accessible engagement experience at the Sea Life Centre, and explains her plans to create a directory of wedding suppliers who are committed to learning, listening and doing better.If you're a wedding professional, I hope this episode makes you stop and think about your own business and the small changes you could make to create a more accessible experience.Unseen Weddings InstagramTime stamps:00:57 - Charlotte Rowe — Founder of Unseen Weddings08:45 - Sea Life Center: Accessibility Done Right13:31 - Directories and Accessibility: Finding Accessible Wedding Venues22:28 - When Wedding Planning Doesn't Reflect You: Realising You're Unseen26:00 - Turning Frustration into Action — Starting Unseen Weddings32:10 - Creating an Inclusive Supplier Directory and Accessible Events39:34 - Asking About Accessibility: How Suppliers Should Start the Conversation45:26 - A Word of Caution: Who Should Get Involved

A disabled founder building a fintech startup completes a major technical milestone, nine of nineteen steps in a full Product and Technical Blueprint, covering product vision, security architecture, accessibility architecture, infrastructure, and API specifications, only to be told by her Technical Advisor, "What did you do?" In Episode 5 of Building Financial Joy, Ruby "SunShine" Taylor gets honest about building the Financial Joy Index™ the hard way: real GitHub cleanup, real technical humility, and a real lesson about following instructions when you're a self-taught, non-technical founder learning to code and manage a repository for the first time.This episode also covers AWS (Amazon Web Services) and cloud infrastructure explained in plain language, a hard-won AWS Social Impact partnership, a free year of premium design services from MUI.com, and a candid reflection on building a financial wellness and member retention startup at $0, the irony of building financial stability tools while personally navigating financial scarcity as an entrepreneur.This is startup building, fintech, entrepreneurship, women in tech, disability advocacy, and financial wellness with nothing smoothed over, the wins, the corrections, and the lessons, told honestly, as they happen.A note before you listen: Ruby is a stutterer. At times you'll hear her stumble, and she keeps going, because she's a thriver, not a complainer. That's not a flaw in this show. It's the show.New episodes every Tuesday.

A disability parking space on Bindon Lane in Ennis has been removed, with faded markings still visible and double yellow lines now painted over the area. This created confusion for a disabled driver and, in this case, resulted in significant inconvenience, as finding alternative parking further away made it more difficult for one driver to access his destination. Desmond Lillis, a disabled driver who experienced this first-hand while visiting the Citizens Information office, joined Alan Morrissey on Friday's Morning Focus. In a statement to Clare FM, the local authority says that "where disabled spaces are in operation in Ennis, the Council clearly delineates disabled parking spaces with regulatory road markings and upright signage. In this instance, while it is noted that there are historic faded markings, it does not constitute an active disabled parking bay, and the freshly marked double yellow lines indicate no parking is allowed."

A 7.7 investor-readiness score. Zero dollars in the bank. A disabled founder holds both of those truths in the same week. In Episode 4 of Building Financial Joy, Ruby "SunShine" Taylor shares a genuinely joyful week building a fintech startup at $0: a new idea for the software born out of a development meeting with her Technical Advisor, a deck score of 7.7 from the AHM Catalyst Capital Passport, well above the 7 needed to be considered investor-ready, and a real connection to minority depository institutions (MDIs) through a meeting with a major fintech company.This episode also gets honest about the cost of building with nothing: a missed grant, mounting AI subscription bills, and literally running out of credits mid-script while recording. And it gets personal, several family members are seriously ill this week, and Ruby shares how she found peace in the middle of it. The highlight: speaking to students at Morgan State University, where she told them the line this episode is named for, dreaming is the price we pay to reach our greatest potential.This is entrepreneurship, disability advocacy, and financial wellness with nothing smoothed over, joy, disappointment, purpose, and love, all in the same week, told as it happened.A note before you listen: Ruby is a stutterer.

Your Client Is Not a Category: Binary Thinking, Gender Trauma, and Presence as a Clinical Skill - An Interview with Alex Iantaffi Alex Iantaffi, Ph.D., LMFT, author of Gender Trauma, on binary thinking, gender trauma, and presence as a clinical skill. Curt and Katie talk with Alex Iantaffi about why binary thinking is a clinical problem before it is a political one. Therapists are trained to sort: into diagnoses, into special populations, into victim and perpetrator. Alex argues that the sorting habit costs us the person sitting in front of us, and that gender is where it shows up most visibly. Alex traces the rigid gender binary to colonial and Christian supremacist thinking rather than to biology, then shows how it surfaces in everyday couples and family work: in parenting expectations, in who is allowed to earn more, in who gets to have an appetite. Everyone is shaped by gender trauma, including cisgender clients whose gendered pain has never once been asked about, and Alex states plainly that Black and Brown trans feminine people and Indigenous people bear the heaviest cost of it. The conversation also covers two systemic models Alex uses to read what is happening in the room, why they choose the language of gender liberation, and what it means to be an accomplice rather than an ally. Alex's practical starting point is smaller than most listeners will expect: presence. This is a useful conversation for all therapists, especially family and couples therapists, clinical supervisors, and any therapist working with gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. In this episode, we discuss: - Why "special population" framing quietly installs cisgender, heterosexual, and monogamous as the default - How colonial constructions of gender show up in everyday couples and family work - What therapists miss when they cast clients as victim or perpetrator - Why the manosphere reads as a symptom of collective gender trauma - How to track relational patterns instead of sorting clients into categories - What gender liberation asks of therapists that gender abolition does not - Why presence may be the most underrated clinical skill in the room Timestamps: - 03:38 - The blind spot in how therapists are trained on gender and sexuality - 11:44 - The colonial roots of the rigid gender binary - 15:54 - The gendered pain cisgender clients carry unexamined - 20:21 - The manosphere as collective gender trauma - 24:57 - Social GRRAACCEESS and positionality in the room - 29:33 - Non-binary thinking as an ongoing practice - 36:30 - Gender liberation, and being an accomplice rather than an ally - 40:45 - Presence as an underrated clinical skill Guest Bio: Alex Iantaffi, Ph.D., MS, SEP, CST, CST-S, LMFT (they/them) is a systemic psychotherapist, WPATH certified gender specialist, AASECT certified sex therapist and supervisor, Somatic Experiencing(R) practitioner, and AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Supervisor Mentor. They are the author of the award-winning Gender Trauma, co-author of How to Understand Your Gender, Life Isn't Binary, and Hell Yeah Self-Care, and editor of the Trans and Disabled anthology.

Living with chronic pain Chronic pain is generally defined as pain that lasts for more than three months, and it can stem from an injury, an illness, inflammation or sometimes a cause doctors can't identify. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults experiences chronic pain, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Chronic pain becomes more common with age and is slightly more common among women, but it can affect people at any age. When pain becomes a constant part of someone's life, its effects can extend far beyond physical, affecting sleep, mobility, mental health, relationships and the ability to work or participate in everyday life. Wednesday on the “Sound of Ideas,” hosted by Stephanie Haney, we're talking about what it means to live with pain that doesn't go away, and whether there are ways to change the way we understand and respond to it. Guests:- Pavan Tankha, D.O., Medical Director, Comprehensive Pain Recovery, Cleveland Clinic- Robert Saper, M.D., Chair, Department of Wellness and Preventative Medicine & Nancy J. and Michael F. Roizen Chair of Wellness, Cleveland Clinic- Gary Klein, Creator and Facilitator, Northeast Ohio Pain Support Group- Talia, "Disabled.Girlie," Chronic Illness Content Creator "Cleveland Mafia Summit" In December of 1928, two dozen well-dressed men caught the eye of a Cleveland police officer outside of the Statler Hotel in Playhouse Square. After jotting down their names from the hotel register and passing them off to the detective's bureau, the authorities realized they had stumbled upon a collection of mafia members, right around the same time as a telegram had come in warning that some of Al Capone's men were traveling to Cleveland for a meeting. Why did these gangland members choose Northeast Ohio for their summit? What were they here to talk about? And what happened to each of these 23 men, after 75 officers descended upon the Statler to bust up their plans? To end the hour, we'll learn the answers to these questions with the help of "Cleveland Mafia Summit" author Don Billie. Guest:- Don Billie, Author, "Cleveland Mafia Summit"

//The Wire//1300Z September 9, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: INTENSE FIGHTING REPORTED IN MIDDLE EAST. IRAN CAPTURES HIGHLY CLASSIFIED AMERICAN DRONE SUBMARINE. UNITED STATES TARGETS 5X MORE TANKERS IN GULF.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Middle East: Major escalations were reported around the region, as the fighting on both sides has intensified back to levels not seen since the height of the war in April. From the United States, attacks on merchant shipping have continued. Overnight, a total of 5x civilian tanker vessels were targeted, some of which were sunk. As of this morning, the full list of ships struck by the United States since yesterday evening is as follows:M/T RIESCO (IMO: 9251822) - Sunk, Gulf of Oman M/T DERYA (IMO: 9569700) - Disabled, Kharg Island M/T HORIZON 1 (IMO: 9130456) - Disabled M/T KAVIZ (IMO: 9282041) - Disabled M/T CHARMINAR (IMO: 9318022) - DisabledFrom the Iranian side, attacks also escalated sharply overnight, targeting merchant shipping and American bases around the region. These attacks occurred in multiple waves, with the initial waves of missiles being intended to soak up missile interceptors before the most significant second and third waves. As a result of this coordination, substantial missile strikes were reported at Muwaffaq al Salti Airbase, many of which were confirmed to have hit the base. Video evidence from locals confirms that a total of 4x ballistic missile warheads impacted the base. Prince Hassan Airbase was also targeted in a similar manner.Aside from the targeting of American bases, Iran has claimed to have attacked over 20x commercial vessels in the region overnight. The IRGC-N also claims to have targeted two American Destroyers, the USS JOHN PAUL JONES (DDG-53) and the USS DELBERT D. BLACK (DDG-119). CENTCOM denies that either vessel was hit, but did confirm that evasive action was required, and the United States struck more civilian ships in retaliation.Within the Gulf, Iranian forces also posted photo and video evidence confirming that Iran has captured a highly classified Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). One American Dive-LD drone submarine was captured intact by Iran, which was likely being used by the United States to conduct highly precise scans of the seafloor throughout the region, probably in conjunction with mine clearance operations in the Gulf. This platform is one of the most capable submersibles used by the U.S. Navy, and was originally unveiled by Anduril last year.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: A full-blown return to the war is probably already underway throughout the Middle East, and all indicators support a widening and/or intensification of the fighting (at least for the time being, as the Tanker War continues). Last night's targeting efforts on all sides were the most significant seen since the height of the war a few months ago. During the attacks in Jordan, the Iranians appear to have used cluster munitions, though the type is not known (these could have been dozens of bomblets, or these could have been inert devices intended to soak up interceptor missiles so that the actual munition penetrates defenses). The last time this type of munition was used was during the targeting of Israeli military bases during the opening days of the war.Based on the footage observed overnight, dozens of PAC-2 missiles were spent attempting to intercept Iranian missiles, with just one night of fighting probably expending more munitions than have been used over the past 2-3 months. Locals report that by the time the final waves of Iranian missiles arrived in Jordan, zero interceptors were even launched. As a reminder, based on the recent reports of munitions stockpiles, the US has largely expended most of the newer PAC-3 missiles for the Patriot system, and have been down to mostly the older PAC-2 missiles for several months. The PAC-2 missile is physically larger than the PAC-3, so each PAC-2 battery can hold fewer missiles than one equipped with PAC-3 canisters. The standard Launching Station holds four missile canisters, which can hold either 4x PAC-2 missiles...or 16x PAC-3 CRI missiles. This means that a Patriot system that has been depleted of the PAC-3 missiles, has to mostly rely on a mix of PAC-2 missiles, which reduces the overall total number of interceptors that could be launched during an engagement. This major logistical detail appears to have worked in Iran's favor during last night's attacks, as locals report that over one hundred PAC-2/3 missiles were fired to intercept the dozens of Iranian missiles that targeted American bases throughout Jordan.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

A disabled founder, a lost grant, and a co-founder who moved on — this is what building a fintech startup with $0 cash actually looks like. In Episode 2 of Building Financial Joy, Ruby "SunShine" Taylor gets honest about a real mistake: a grant once funded a full build-out of the Grean Wealth Financial Education Platform, and it never launched. Her co-founder, Jaco, has since moved on to a great opportunity at a financial institution — no hard feelings, just a new chapter. Now Ruby is building the Financial Joy Index™, a shame-free financial wellness check-in for the disability community and everyone left behind by traditional fintech, solo, with $0 cash.This episode also covers real wins: a signed Technical Advisor agreement, AWS credits, a live site Ruby debugged and fixed herself, an ethical reversal on an accessibility vendor after real research, and a LinkedIn post that caught entrepreneur Mac Conwell's attention and led to an invitation to Black Girls Venture Homecoming.This is startup building, entrepreneurship, fintech, and disability advocacy with nothing smoothed over — real losses and real wins, told honestly, as they happen.A note before you listen: Ruby is a stutterer. At times you'll hear her stumble — and she keeps going, because she's a thriver, not a complainer. That's not a flaw in this show. It's the show.New episodes every Tuesday.Support the show

Sometimes pushing forward looks like going faster. And sometimes it looks like recording a podcast from bed. In Episode 155 of Pushing Forward with Alycia, Alycia Anderson welcomes her husband, Marty Anderson, back to the microphone for one of their most personal conversations yet. Over the past several months, Alycia and Marty have found themselves navigating an unexpected medical journey that has included multiple hospitalizations, a bowel obstruction, a uterine embolization and the placement of a nephrostomy tube to protect Alycia's functioning kidney while her body heals. But this episode is not simply a medical update. It is a conversation about aging with disability, something Alycia and Marty are discovering requires continuously getting reacquainted with bodies that change over time. Both are wheelchair users. Both live with different disabilities. And after nearly fifteen years of marriage, the couple is experiencing one of those seasons when the vows “in sickness and in health” become very real. When the Body Changes the Plan Alycia has spent a lifetime adapting. Born with a congenital disability, she describes herself in the episode as a “science project that's gone right.” From the outside, people may simply see a wheelchair user. Internally, however, her anatomy and health are far more complex. Now, aging, disability and perimenopause are colliding in ways she could not have predicted. The physical challenges have also introduced something emotionally difficult for a lifelong achiever: being forced to slow down. Alycia admits that one of her greatest fears has not simply been the medical uncertainty. It has been losing momentum. After an incredibly successful Disability Pride Month, nine events, the company's first live webinar and Alycia's Pitch Perfect competition win at Disability:IN, suddenly the body demanded something completely different. Rest. Running a Business When Life Says Stop Being self employed might seem like it would make dealing with illness easier. Alycia and Marty explain why the opposite can be true. There is no traditional medical leave. No department waiting to absorb the workload. No manager to tell that you will be unavailable for the month. When one partner becomes sick, the other is balancing caregiving, household responsibilities, client needs and the business itself. It has forced Marty into an even larger role while simultaneously asking Alycia to release control over work she deeply cares about. And for a self described Type A personality, that surrender has not come easily. When Both Partners Have Disabilities One of the most compelling parts of the conversation explores a question people have asked Alycia and Marty throughout their relationship: How will two disabled people take care of each other? Their answer is beautifully simple. They adapt. When Alycia became unable to transfer as easily after her hospitalization, Marty drew from years of disability experience and ordered a transfer board. They modified routines. They used equipment differently. They accepted home healthcare. They figured it out together. And while their disabilities can create additional logistical complications, Alycia says they also create something extraordinarily valuable within their relationship: understanding. Marty does not need an explanation of what it feels like when the body suddenly stops cooperating. Alycia does not need to translate disability for him. That shared understanding creates an intimacy rooted in lived experience. “I Don't Have to Be the Strongest Person in the Room Every Day” Perhaps the most vulnerable moment comes when Marty asks Alycia what this season is teaching her. She does not manufacture an inspirational answer. Instead, she admits that she does not know yet. She is still inside it. But she is beginning to understand something important. It is okay to rest. It is okay to say she is too tired. It is okay to receive help. And it is okay not to be the strongest person in the room every single day. For someone whose career has been built around resilience, achievement and pushing forward, that may be one of the biggest adaptations of all. Love as an Accessibility Tool There is also a love story woven quietly through this episode. Alycia talks about lying in bed while recovering, looking over at Marty and feeling safe. She describes this medical season as a reminder of the depth their marriage has developed over time. Not because everything has been easy. Because it has not. But because when things become difficult, they know how to turn toward one another. Their marriage becomes another form of adaptation. Another form of access. Another reminder that independence does not have to mean doing everything alone.

What if the trip you thought was impossible was simply waiting for the right access? For many disabled travelers, dreaming about a destination comes with an immediate second thought: But can I actually go there? In Episode 154 of Pushing Forward with Alycia, Alycia Anderson sits down with Karen Morales, luxury travel advisor, speaker, wheelchair user, disability travel advocate, and leader within Fora Travel's accessibility initiative, for a conversation that may completely change the way you think about accessible travel. Karen lives with limb girdle muscular dystrophy and began using a wheelchair full time in 2020. But losing mobility did not mean losing her identity as a traveler. Instead, it pushed her to rethink what independence, adventure, and possibility could look like. And she went exploring. Japan. Morocco. Sicily. Costa Rica. France. Canada. Africa. Karen discovered that some of the destinations disabled travelers assume will be impossible can deliver extraordinary experiences when the right people, information, creativity, and hospitality come together. Her work is also proving something the travel industry cannot ignore. Fora's accessibility initiative has been associated with $75 million in accessible travel sales, showing that accessible hospitality is not merely about regulations or checking an ADA box. It represents a significant and underserved business opportunity. Karen's philosophy is refreshingly simple: Travel is travel. Hospitality is hospitality. Whether someone needs a roll in shower, a specific bed height, allergy accommodations, a medical refrigerator, sensory support, a service animal accommodation, or simply a different pillow, great hospitality begins by understanding what that traveler needs before they arrive. This conversation goes far beyond accessible hotel rooms. Alycia and Karen talk about accepting mobility devices, reclaiming independence, traveling with progressive disability, universal design, raising expectations, the power of lived experience, and why disabled people should not have to beg to participate in life's most beautiful experiences. And Karen leaves us with one invitation: Stop assuming the world is closed to you before you explore what might actually be possible.

Today I am joined by Suyapa Ulloa, where we discussed how belonging to an immigrant family can shape how disability is talked about and handled within the family. We explored how caregivers/parents can support the mental health of non-disabled siblings, navigating moments of resentment without shame, and resources to support disability justice and inclusion. Suyapa shares her immigrant family's journey navigating their dynamic with a disabled child and reflects on her experience as a non-disabled elder sibling.  About today's guest: Suyapa Ulloa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in CA, NV, and FL who can be found on the Latinx Therapy directory.  Practice website:  https://www.suyapasutherapist.com/  Find Suyapa in Our Directory: https://latinxtherapy.com/therapists/suyapa-ulloa-lcsw/  Resources:  https://sinsinvalid.org/  https://dredf.org/   https://awnnetwork.org/  https://ncil.org/
