The Blind Chick

Episode Summary

What happens when the greatest obstacle in someone's life isn't their disability, but the limitations others place on them?

On this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome back their friend, adventurer, author, and groundbreaking mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer for a conversation that reaches far beyond the summit of Mount Everest.

Erik introduces his new book, Touching Everest, a uniquely accessible reading experience featuring Braille, print, tactile illustrations, and visual artwork designed to bring blind and sighted readers together. Created in collaboration with National Braille Press, tactile artist Ann Cunningham, and visual designer Judith Krimski, the book tells Erik's story of losing his sight, discovering his independence, and learning that life's greatest barriers don't have to define its possibilities.

The conversation explores the delicate balance between protecting children and allowing them the freedom to fail, take risks, and discover their capabilities. Erik shares a powerful childhood memory of his father painting a bicycle ramp bright orange so he could continue riding as his vision deteriorated. He also recounts the extraordinary transformation of a blind teenager who experienced freedom for the first time during a No Barriers Grand Canyon adventure.

From the influence of Terry Fox to the realities of raising independent children, Erik challenges the idea that meaningful achievement must involve climbing mountains or breaking records. Sometimes the greatest Everest is simply finding the courage to leave the house, make a decision, or try something that once seemed impossible.

Penn and Moses also celebrate the expansion of Aftersight's White Cane Project nationwide and discuss how accessibility, community, and genuine inclusion can create opportunities for the next generation.

Because the goal isn't to raise children who never fall. It's to help them discover they have what it takes to get back up.

Episode Summary

What happens when more than 200 people come together on a mountain, not just to reach the summit, but to remind one another that nobody has to face life's challenges alone?

In this special episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street take listeners back to Winter Park, Colorado, for the What's Your Everest hike, a collaboration between Aftersight and No Barriers USA. With 61 Aftersight participants across three teams, the day became something much bigger than an outdoor adventure. It was a celebration of friendship, perseverance, accessibility, and the people who help us keep moving when the path gets difficult.

Through conversations recorded during the event, we hear from blind adventurers, nonprofit leaders, volunteers, sponsors, families, and hikers whose lives have been changed by the No Barriers community. From Jim returning to cycling after years away, to Trevor Hahn finding his way forward through personal challenges, to Scott Garrison watching his young son discover what's possible, each story reveals a different side of what it means to be part of a rope team.

Along the way, Penn reconnects with adventurers Lonnie Bedwell and Bill Barkeley, celebrates the determination of Ellie White, and talks with community leaders who are helping make outdoor recreation more accessible. The episode concludes with Erik Weihenmayer reflecting on his own journey through blindness and the importance of creating communities where people don't simply overcome barriers, but help others do the same.

Because reaching the top is only part of the journey. Sometimes what matters most is who's climbing beside you, who's there to catch you when you fall, and whose rope team you've chosen to be part of.

 1. Episode Summary 

What happens when getting sober means losing the very people you thought would stand beside you? 

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Blind Chick, Penn Street joins Steven Vine, host of Disability Diaries with Steven Vine, for an honest conversation about addiction, alcoholism, disability, and the difficult road toward recovery. 

Both Penn and Steven have firsthand experience navigating addiction while living with blindness. They explore how alcohol can become a way to numb emotional pain, avoid accepting a disability, and escape feelings of loneliness and isolation. 

Penn shares her remarkable journey of 39 years of sobriety, including the friendships she lost, the relationships that changed, and the freedom she discovered when she stopped allowing addiction to define her life. Steven offers a different perspective on recovery, discussing his decision to change his relationship with alcohol and why recovery doesn't look identical for everyone. 

Together, they confront the stigma surrounding addiction, the generational differences in attitudes toward drinking, the importance of community, and the courage it takes to acknowledge when something in your life needs to change. 

Because sometimes the hardest part of getting sober isn't putting down the bottle. It's discovering who will still be standing beside you when you do. 

This episode is a reminder that recovery is possible, asking for help is a sign of strength, and finding people who understand your journey can change everything.

Episode Summary

What does financial independence look like when you're living with vision loss? And how do you build a secure financial future when the very systems designed to support you can sometimes make saving money more difficult?

On this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome Rachel Christian, journalist, financial writer, and founder of Unseen Wealth, a financial coaching business focused on empowering people with disabilities. Rachel shares her personal journey with cone dystrophy, her career in journalism, and the experiences that inspired her to help others take control of their financial futures.

Together, they explore the challenges of financial literacy, the differences between SSI and SSDI, and how ABLE accounts can provide opportunities to save and invest while navigating certain public benefit restrictions. Rachel also breaks down practical financial strategies, including the 50/30/20 budgeting rule, retirement investments, and the risks of cryptocurrency. Along the way, the conversation explores the changing landscape of journalism, financial misinformation, and the importance of understanding where financial advice comes from.

From overcoming the fear of losing benefits to building confidence with money, Rachel reminds us that financial independence isn't necessarily about becoming wealthy overnight. It's about education, making informed decisions, and recognizing that small steps can lead to meaningful change.

Episode Summary

What happens when getting older reminds us that disability can become part of anyone's story? And what happens when a dream to help people regain their independence finally reaches beyond state lines?

Penn and Moses Street are back with stories from their latest Colorado hot springs adventure and Moses's 60th high school reunion. Between questionable jokes about aging, memories of old classmates, and a few unexpected reflections on mortality, the conversation takes a meaningful turn toward disability, independence, and the importance of supporting one another.

Then comes some exciting news! Aftersight's White Cane Project is expanding nationwide. Thanks to an incredible partnership with Awarewolf Gear and the generosity of anonymous donors, people who are blind or have low vision outside Colorado will soon have access to high-quality white canes completely free of charge, including shipping.

Penn and Moses also discuss upcoming White Cane Safety Day celebrations, Colorado Gives Day, the Blind Travel Summit in Chicago, and why learning to use a white cane represents far more than mobility. It represents courage, confidence, and freedom.

And because this is The Blind Chick, there's plenty of laughter along the way, including broken canes, questionable marriage advice, and Moses's inability to stop looking at Penn.

A white cane isn't a symbol of what someone has lost. It's a tool that helps them reclaim their independence.

Summary

Liam Erven has been blind since birth, but growing up, his family largely expected him to experience the world the same way other kids did. He climbed things, ran into walls, got lost, learned to find his way back, and eventually discovered a Nintendo his grandparents bought him simply because other kids had one too. That gift introduced him to what he describes as a whole world inside a box, even if that world wasn’t designed for him yet.

On this episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street talk with Liam about growing up blind, mainstream education, independence, relationships, sports, hearing loss, and the importance of being allowed to fail. Liam shares why being protected from every mistake can ultimately keep a child from developing the skills they will need later in life, and why one of his guiding philosophies has become simple: just figure it out.

Gaming became one of the places where Liam did exactly that. After becoming good enough at Mortal Kombat that neighborhood kids stopped wanting to play against him, he eventually turned a childhood idea into Super Liam, which he describes as the first side-scrolling audio game for blind players. Today, he continues working with accessible technology, developing games, and exploring ways technology can make entertainment more inclusive.

The conversation also gets personal as Liam discusses his marriage to Alyssa, their podcast 404 Sight Not Found, the fear that comes with losing hearing he has depended on his entire life, and his desire to leave the world better than he found it. His closing reminder is simple: some days are bad days. Sometimes the best thing you can do is get through today, let it go, and try again tomorrow.

Episode Summary
 

Penn and Moses sit down with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Brittany Adams Yee for a candid conversation about mental health, disability, trauma, and adapting when life changes in ways you never expected.
 

Dr. Adams Yee shares her own experience with vision loss, the barriers she encountered while becoming a psychologist, and why those experiences shaped her work with people living with disabilities. The conversation explores grief and identity after vision loss, accessible approaches to EMDR, virtual therapy, aging, major life transitions, and the importance of understanding people as individuals who are suffering rather than simply reducing them to a diagnosis.
 

Dr. Adams Yee also explains how bilateral stimulation used in EMDR can be adapted beyond eye movement, including tactile and auditory approaches that can make the treatment accessible for people who are blind or low vision. 

Through plenty of laughter and some deeply personal moments, the episode comes back to a simple idea: there may not be one correct way to navigate life. As Brittany puts it, each person has to discover what living well looks like for them, knowing that answer can change over time.

Episode Summary

Penn and Moses are back together in the Aftersight studio, recovering from an incredible weekend at the annual hike with No Barriers USA. More than 40 people joined the event, bringing together friends from across the blind and low-vision community, including climbers, artists, advocates, families, and longtime supporters. Penn and Moses reflect on the people who made the weekend memorable, from familiar friends to new connections, and share the story of Jim Valenzuela getting the opportunity to try adaptive cycling equipment that could potentially put him back on the road.

Then the conversation turns toward Moses’ upcoming 60th high school reunion in Rochester, Indiana. What begins as a trip down memory lane becomes a hilarious look at how class reunions change over the decades: from trying to impress everyone at the 10-year reunion, to discovering forgotten high-school crushes, comparing gray hair and medications, and wondering whether spouses should even be invited.

Along the way, Penn and Moses talk about how much people really change over a lifetime, the strange persistence of old personalities, family photographs, lost friends, and one of Moses’ classmates who became known as the “hanging judge” because of his unwavering commitment to applying the law consistently.

They close by looking ahead to fall adventures, hot springs, sports, Thanksgiving, and more opportunities to get out of the house and participate in life. Penn offers her familiar challenge to the blind and low-vision community: grab the white cane, get outside, and be part of the world around you.

Episode Summary
 

Country singer-songwriter Sarah Hardwig joins Penn Street and Moses Street for a wide-ranging conversation about music, blindness, ambition, creativity, and what success actually means.
 

Sarah shares how growing up blind with Leber congenital amaurosis never stopped her from developing an early love for country music. From singing Carrie Underwood in the car as a child to recording homemade CDs, performing national anthems, attending CMA Fest, and eventually studying songwriting and music business at Belmont University, Sarah describes a career built through persistence, relationships, and a willingness to keep showing up.
 

She also reflects on her experience auditioning for America’s Got Talent, where she received four yeses but did not advance to the live shows. Sarah explains why the exposure became valuable in its own right and why she ultimately sees not advancing further as something that may have protected her artistic independence.
 

The conversation goes deeper into performance anxiety, songwriting, learning guitar by feel and ear, her complicated relationship with Braille music, and her belief that blindness should never force an artist into a particular creative lane. Sarah explains that her songs are not about portraying a character. The strength, vulnerability, humor, fear, and determination in them are all different parts of herself.
  

Sarah also discusses her single “Breaking Away,” which grew from her own struggle with uncertainty and self-doubt as she approached high-school graduation. For Sarah, breaking away means refusing to allow fear and doubt to dictate what happens next. 

Through conversations about manifestation, fame, Nashville, artistic community, and the uncertainty of a creative career, Sarah keeps returning to one idea: connection matters more than accolades or numbers. Success is not simply being famous. It is finding people who believe in what you do and continuing to pursue something meaningful even when the outcome cannot be controlled.
