This episode talks about my personal experience with a professor ignoring me about my disability and my issues that I am having with the class. I also go on to talk about how it is important to listen to people with disabilities to understand how to help them instead of deciding yourself how to help them. Let us be our own voice and listen to what we are saying.

This episode talks about the disgusting labels that people use towards people who have mental and developmental disabilities. High functioning and low functioning labels have been used as long as I can remember, it's time to stop using them.

This episode talks a little about how devastating addiction is and how the opioid crisis has taken so many lives. There is no one person or one profession to blame, but we need to figure out a way to stop it and to help people. Some of this information is based off a documentary that can be found on Netflix called "The Pharmacist"

This episode focuses on different coping skills to deal with anxiety on a day to day basis, most of them given to me by my therapist. It also talks about breaking the stigma for mental health illnesses and normalizing that people struggle and need help just like breaking a leg or having cancer. Medical attention for the brain (mental disabilities) is just as important as the rest of the body, if not more.
