 If your workplace isn’t actively inclusive, it’s actively exclusive.

In this episode, we’re calling out the ableism hiding in your workplace—from HR’s internalized biases to managers who don’t know what they don’t know to “inclusion” efforts that are all show, no substance.

🔥 What’s Inside:
✔️ The jaw-dropping story of a manager who told Lia
not to use her wheelchair in front of clients
✔️ How HR’s “I struggled, so you should too” mindset is failing disabled employees
✔️ Why equality ≠ equity—and what real inclusion looks like
✔️ Performative allyship vs. real change (yes, we’re naming names)
✔️ The hidden ableism in return-to-office mandates—and why flexibility is a disability issue

Ableism isn’t a disability issue—it’s a workplace issue. Let’s fix it.
