WHATS UP YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKING PEOPLE!?

**DISCLAIMER - I talk about how I felt & my fears before Spinal Fusion and this may be helpful to hear to or it may not prior to your surgery and I just wanted to put this here in case .**

Todays episode is a very special episode because we're celebrating my NINE YEAR SPINEAVIRSARY !

In this special Episode of Unaligned & Unfiltered I get more vulnerable about my life surrounding the last nine years of my life and share advice and lived in experiences around Scoliosis , Spinal fusion & Grief.

I also share a very real fear I had about spinal fusion and surgery not going well and possibly ending up paralyzed while this is a sensitive topic I found it important to be honest about this fear so we can start to talk about just how much mental strain, anxiety goes into preparing for a life changing surgery like this.

I hope by sharing more of myself and my experiences it can help break Isolation , please never hesitate to reach out with questions !

Welcome back to another Episode of Unaligned and Unfiltered ! 

This week I'm joined by Ali Cameron , Disabled Content creator, Disability Advocate, Entrepreneur and Owner of Seated Perspectives!

In this episode Ali and I speak about the journey to acceptance and owning our Disabled identities and why it can take so many of us a long time to fight down the walls of our internal ableism, the society standards that weren't built for us and to embrace all that we are and by doing so it has led to beautiful opportunities, a much needed community and a feeling of a belonging when the world tries so hard to shut us out and make it feel as if its our fault . Ali shares her journey on self discovery, self Acceptance and how she is uplifting fellow disabled content creators to invest in themselves and helps them build profitable brands ! Thank you again Ali for coming on the pod! :)

-Personal note from your hostess :) - I almost was scared to post this episode b/c of my vulnerability and ADHD symptoms popping up quite a bit but then I thought wasn't this the whole reason for this rebrand and the name of my podcast - to be unfiltered? To show up authentically and embrace every part of me , that includes my Neuro Spicy brain - and by posting this I'm honoring my healing journey and taking up space . Thank you Ali for being a safe space for me to continue to do what I love - Advocate, and have important conversations! And Thank you to all you my listeners and Subscribers- grateful for you all ! <3

*Disclaimer* There is point in the Episode where I talk about a lived experience at a Pride event where I didn't stand up for myself or hold space - I share this because I'm working on holding space for myself and I hope others learn to take up space -stand up for YOU. I want to add this one event that happened does NOT reflect the LGBTQIA + community it just happened to be where this happened but this can happen anywhere and it has bc its a work of progress within myself to hold space and to take up space, a journey I'm sharing with all you. I'm proud to be apart of both of these beautiful communities , LGBTQIA+ and Disabled full of beautiful humans. <3

Thank you again for being here !

What's up you beautiful people !

When I renamed this podcast I did so with ADHD in mind because my spine isn't aligned and either is my brain , haha! I hope you enjoy this different , educational and personal episode on ADHD , if you do please, like , comment and subscribe ! :)

Welcome back - in this solo podcast episode I sit down and get real about ADHD and self care with a fused spine. I share my personal experiences and struggles throughout my life with ADHD and how I'm taking the steps to better understand what ADHD really is. I share tips about what has helped me and resources I have found along the way along with emotional lived in experiences with ADHD & the shame it often brings.

My hope is by sharing my experiences , to break the stigma and shame that surrounds ADHD and shed light on that it is SO much more than being hyperactive and that those of us with ADHD aren't just "Lazy" .

Lets take our power back by learning more about ADHD and how it affects us, especially with self care & A fused spine. Thank you so much for listening and the support- it means so much to me!

What's up you beautiful people- Happy Scoliosis & Pride Month !

In today's episode I sit down with Allie from Havenwell Pilates and she opens up and shares her journey from diagnosis, to fusion and the path she took to find a home within herself after spinal fusion.  Allie and I talk about the lack of support around diagnosis and how the community we have both found online through Instagram and other platforms  has helped both of us break out the isolation that this diagnosis can bring. We talk about how for most of us we don’t really understand the gravity of our diagnosis till years later and how we get to understanding what happened.

 You can expect a lot of laughs, and good conversation.  We talk about what its like to be pioneering what after fusion looks like due to the lack of support after surgery  and how sharing our own journeys has helped us heal by being able to meet other women with fusions from all over! I hope whoever listens to this knows you're a part of this community and I’m so grateful to all of you for being here. 

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do – Allie reminds us all that we DESERVE to feel safe and at home in our bodies and that although our journeys are different - the community found in similarities has the power to break down isolation and heal.

Check out Allies website below to book a session with her ! :) 

To ALL my scoliosis and fusion warriors out there - You are seen , you are loved , you are valued !

What's up you beautiful people ! ?

In this Episode of Unaligned & Unfiltered I'm joined by a fellow Scoliosis advocate , stilt walker, dreamer & Dancer ! Meredith Montana AKA online as the Bionic Ballerina !

Meredith shares her journey with spinal fusion , scoliosis diagnosis and how she before anything she knew she was a dancer and never took NO for answer when it came to following her dreams and proving that she COULD and can do SO much with Scoliosis and a fused spine. Meredith opens up about her recovery journey from spinal fusion and how we need to be patient with ourselves and our minds as we recover and the importance of mental health after recovery and SO much more !

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do , and you're able to take something away for your own twisted journey. Meredith's strength and passion to dance reminded me just how much we CAN do with our spines and that we know our bodies best and when we are passionate about our dreams - there's NOTHING that can stop us!
