On Butterflies of Wisdom today, Best-Selling Author, Win C welcomes Eric Goll. Eric is a disability advocate, certified coach, and the host of the Empowering Ability Podcast. Eric has been greatly influenced by his sister Sarah, who has a developmental disability. Sarah has been his greatest teacher in life; showing him how to love, be kind, be patient, and how to listen. Eric and Sarah had a 'normal' childhood. They went to public school, played with their friends, and did extra circular activities. They had a typical sibling relationship; they laughed, they cried, and they fought. Eric noticed things were different when he was about eight years old when he was pushing Sarah's stroller in the mall, Sarah was ten at the time. As he pushed Sarah, he started to notice people were staring, especially other kids. As the other kids stared, he stared back, and on occasion, he stuck out my tongue at them. Why were they staring? This was the point he realized that his family was different, other families didn't have big kids in strollers, and he was there to stand up for Sarah. He is still standing for Sarah, but now he stands for families and people with a disability. Eric supports the disability movement by showing individuals with a disability and their tribe (family and loved ones) that they have power, and they have a capability, that they can live an incredible ordinary life, and that they can change the world. Eric hosts the Empowering Ability Podcast where he talks with his guests about creating amazing ordinary lives for people with a disability.
