In part 2 Peta walks you through (pardon the pun) the process of check-in, security checks and boarding the aeroplane when you have a disability.

It is very difficult to reconcile with how inaccessible the airline and airport industries still are in 2022. 

Many people with disabilities do not have access to a toilet when on a flight, how demeaning.

Do you think you could hang on for multiple hours until you arrive at a destination? Many people don't have a choice.

This episode is a very personal one. I even asked my Instagram followers if I should share this story.

There are many other more important things happening in this world but I hope by sharing this story other disabled people won't have to go through a similar experience. 

Mistakes happen. I hope learning happens too.

Many of you will know by now Peta loves being self-employed.

With stats like disabled people are 40% more likely to be self-employed than non-disabled people, Peta wanted to better understand why that might be. 

This episode explores being self-employed when you have a disability while also drawing on personal lived experiences. Peta of course shares what it is like for her to be self-employed but also is joined by the lovely Amber from Wheelie Good Perth. Amber is a disabled woman who runs a successful business auditing for accessibility.

Only four months into 2022 we are dealing with a pandemic, a war and then there were record-breaking floods on the east coast of Australia. It's a lot.

How does someone with a disability or a chronic condition cope with the challenges of natural disasters? What can Government and relief organisations do better when trying to support the community during these times including people with disabilities? 

Peta chats with Jessica Bean, a Queenslander who is living with Cystic Fibrosis and Diabetes.  Jessica was extremely generous in sharing her experiences of living through two natural disasters as a person with a chronic condition and as a Health Empowerment Coach.
