Diana Swillinger is oh so amazing! This episode we went down so many incredible roads. Diana talks about her childhood, growing up having a sibling with a Different Ability™ and the impact that had on her life. Her sibling's perspective is a beautiful perspective that we all need to hear! The siblings perspective is so powerful and so important for each of us to remember and learn from!

Diana digs deep into a powerful mindset and how for many years she was living a life of how she "thought she was supposed to live her life" to then making a massive mindset and family change to live the life she and her family wanted.

Tune in to so much more from Diana!

The Education System is broken.  It has come to my attention that the system has not changed much in over 20+ years since I have been diagnosed with a learning disability. The system is still trying to teach in a "one size fits all box".

Well my friends, one size does not fit all in education nor in clothing or even in life in general! One size will never fit all and it's about time for a huge disruption and change in our education system to ensure kids are not falling through the cracks, like they are today.

Listen in to today's episode where I talk all about this!

Angel asked me to crack my B.A.N.K code with her in real time on my podcast and then explain what it was all about. I have to say, I had no idea what to expect and didn't know what this "test" was about at all.

This B.A.N.K code was a bit mind blowing!  It was so interesting to do in real time and I learned sooo much about my code. What I thought was so cool was how I chose each card in the order I did and how that describes me in my current season of life.

Angel is such a delight to talk with and learn from. I learned so much in this interview and I look forward to our next podcast interview where we dig deeper into my results and what they all mean for me!

Are you ready for a breath of fresh air?! Well this is the episode you want to listen to! Veronica talks about giving kids opportunities to learn about people that are different than you and boy does she have some inspiring stories to share!

Communication is key for Veronica. She talks about how we need to take opportunities to talk to kids about people's differences! If a kid sees someone different, don't pull your kid away and pretend they didn't ask, take that opportunity to talk about all of our differences and if the person with the disability wants to talk to your child, let them! It's a great opportunity to learn!

Today I talk with an amazing teacher I had in high school that taught me all about my disability! Gina and I talk about so many different topics during this episode. But one of her greatest messages is to learn about yourself, and if you are struggling it's ok to ask for help and you should ask for help if you have a disability or not!

Everyone needs to hear Rick Werry's story! This episode is SO inspiring! Rick has so many great stories and I know that these are just a few of his amazing stories!

Bio:
Rick Werry was born in a small town in Utah. The youngest of 4 kids growing up on a dairy farm. As a teenager Rick loved sports and being outdoors.

In 2007 Rick married his college sweetheart Tara. One year later while building their house, Rick was in a construction accident and broke his neck. His life changed that day as Rick became paralyzed from the chest down. Rick was scared, sad and unsure what the future holds when a nurse came into his hospital room. The nurse was holding a red pen and a calendar. She told Rick that any time you accomplish something you couldn't do yesterday we will write it down and call it a "Red Letter Day"

Rick has taken that nurses advice not only for recovering from a spinal cord injury, but also as a life lesson. In ricks "wheelchair life" Rick has accomplished so many amazing things. Rick has a handcycle and rides long distances, plays wheelchair Rugby and is always hunting. Rick and Tara now have twin boys that are their whole life. Rick is a great dad and always playing with the "boys"

Rick has started to compile his life lessons and "Red letter Days" into a memoir, and plans to have it published.

Here's the blog post to learn even more!
