April 06, 2020 E20: "The Fight is Long but We Will Win" with Karleigh Webb
On this episode, we dive into how equity in sports affects all aspects of our lives. We are joined by the lovely Karleigh Chardonnay Webb (@rocketdyne1965), who is a triathlete, activist, writer, Outsports journalist, poet, and gamer. Karleigh speaks on how allyship and trans awareness spills into healthcare, human rights, and more of every person in the working class. Able bodied or disabled, trans or cis, take this episode to heart and consider ways we can band together and organize our voices for all who are marginalized. The fight is long but we will win.

March 23, 2020 E19: Chronic Illness, COVID-19, and You
In our first but certainly not last Panel of Spoons, we convene and discuss the coronavirus crisis. Our panelists represent different states, illnesses, body sizes, colors, and lifting backgrounds. We come together to talk about community, losing gains, how this pandemic affects our pockets, and of course anxiety around the possibility of being infected with a virus that is deadly for the immunocompromised.

March 16, 2020 E18: Lifting Strongman and Speaking Truths with @eds_athlete
In this episode, we are joined by our good friend and all around badass Kresenda Keith (@eds_athlete) to talk about Disabled Strongman, competing with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, meet preparation and recovery, fatphobia, and all the intersections known to womankind.

March 02, 2020 E17: How Disabled Girls Protect Their Energy
What do we do for survival? What do we do for happiness? What are some feel-good activities or products to give you that extra release of the chemical, dopamine?
When we say protect your energy, we mean it. Because self-care is the practice of caring for your physical, emotional, and psychological well being, it shouldn't be surprising to learn that it does, in fact, have an effect on your mental health. In this episode, hosts Marcia (@thatdoc.marcia) and Marybeth (@merrbertt) discuss how they cope and interact with society on a daily from setting boundaries to finding desirability and turning pain into healing.
In this episode, Marcia & Marybeth discuss how to protect your energy beyond posting shareable quotes from Instagram. We touch on coping skills, self awareness, self care, mindset, setting boundaries, loving yourself first, meditation, adulting, negotiating relationships, and dealing with grief. It shouldn’t be surprising that these all have effects on your mental health. The only thing that is surprising is how little we are all talking about it!

February 17, 2020 E16: Decolonizing Fitness w/Ilya Parker
What is toxic fitness culture and how the fuck do we fix it? In this episode, hosts Marybeth & Marcia explore racism, ableism, transphobia, fatphobia, and more with Ilya Parker of Decolonizing Fitness. Ilya is a black nonbinary trans person whose work centers gender, racial, and healing justice. The foundation of their work is based on the belief that all bodies deserve access to affirming fitness & wellness services, and Disabled Girls couldn’t agree more.

February 03, 2020 E14: Navigating Fitness with Disabilities & Invisible Illnesses
What happens when you shift the focus from what your body looks like to what your body can do? On this episode, we discuss the growth that comes with that shift and a little advice on how to foster success. Our host Marcia and our guest Danna cover finding the barbell, starting a new program, the search for good gyms, and how to find a good coach and support team. Our hosts Marybeth & Chloe also contributed to the content in this episode. DGWL family, whether you choose powerlifting or crossfit, strongman or olympic weightlifting, (or all of the above), stay the course and keep searching for strength.
