1) Episode Summary
 

In this solo episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses catch listeners up on life, travel, gardening, Memorial Day reflections, St. Louis adventures, and the power of learning to advocate for yourself. Moses opens with his “summer gym,” also known as the garden, before the conversation moves into honoring Memorial Day with the reverence it deserves. Penn shares highlights from the 2026 GiveCon conference in St. Louis, including a surprise live podcast appearance and visits to the zoo and Cardinals games. She also highlights Aftersight’s upcoming walk with Foresight Adventure Guides at Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora on Saturday, May 30th, 2026, inviting listeners to register, donate, and join the community for a five-mile walk, lunch, music, and connection. 

The heart of the episode comes through Penn’s reflection on self-advocacy: how people often advocate fiercely for loved ones but struggle when it comes time to speak up for themselves. With humor, honesty, and their usual back-and-forth rhythm, Penn and Moses remind listeners that blindness, disability, age, or health challenges do not erase a person’s intelligence, personality, experience, or place in the world.
