Brit opens up to Fred about why a comment from her husband hit her hard, and it sparks a meaningful conversation about the fear of being a burden when living with a disability. We explore how to confront those insecurities, the balance between asking for help and maintaining independence, and how to navigate these challenges in a relationship. 

Is it easier to start a new relationship from a wheelchair, or to adjust to the new dynamic of an existing relationship after a major life change like paralysis? 

We also touch on the question of consent when it comes to personal space: is it ever okay to touch someone’s wheelchair without permission? This brings up some real-life dilemmas we’ve both experienced. 

This episode was a journey with plenty of laughs and personal insights, and it’s one of our favorites to date
