Scratch That: Parenting & ReParenting Off Script

🎙️ What Does Disability Teach Us About Building Community? with Alex Wegman


Listen Later

Alex Wegman is one of our absolute favorite people on (and off) the internet.

She’s a writer, storyteller, homeschooling mom of two, and a lifelong wheelchair user who tells stories about life at the intersection of disability, parenting, friendship, and generally existing in public.

Everything she shares has deeply impacted how we approach parenting. So we’re thrilled to have her as our first guest on Scratch That!

Tune in to hear about:

  • Cultivating independence for parents & kids
  • Disability representation in Alex’s childhood
  • Confronting ableist attitudes toward pregnancy & birth
  • Deconstructing the nuclear family
  • New scripts for intimacy & home-building
  • Learning to love the act of asking for help
  • Indulging in our joy
