"The world worries more about disability than disabled people do." -Warwick Davis

Prepare to be busted open in every way possible. Crystal Rivers has been in the entertainment industry for over twenty years but the last six have been anything but easy. A litany of medical problems have resulted in  her going from training for olympic level gymnastics to multiple hospital visits and now a wheelchair. We discuss her brutal upbringing, various psychological and drug treatments, how Hollywood is learning about inclusion, and why losing the use of her legs isn't going to stop her from accomplishing her dreams.

This episode is a rollercoaster. We laugh. We cry. We share personal outrage. Crystal regales her life story with courage and openness, revealing details that many of her closest friends don't know. I can't express how impressed I am by this amazing human being.
