Two Disabled Dudes

265 - Holding Onto Hope Without Letting Go of Today


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into a topic that hits close to home: the tension between hoping for a cure and fully embracing life as it is today. We explore how dreaming about a different future—whether through medical breakthroughs, financial success, or other changes—can be both motivating and, at times, limiting.

Kyle shares a frustrating parking lot experience that sparks a conversation about accessibility, awareness, and the small but constant challenges we face in daily life with a disability. From there, we reflect on how our perspectives have evolved over the years, the importance of finding joy in the present, and how we each work to strike a balance between planning for the future and making the most of today.

Plus, in the spirit of gratitude, we take a moment to recognize some incredible people in our lives who make a difference.

Join us for an honest, thought-provoking, and relatable discussion about perspective, priorities, and the power of focusing on what truly matters.
