  • Wheelchair Parenting Struggles & Big Life Moves

    In this episode of Wheel Talk, Fred and Brittney dive into big life changes and personal challenges. Brittney’s son, Jacob, won a boxing match, but the gym wasn’t wheelchair accessible, leaving her with two frustrating options—cause a fuss to get inside or stay home and miss out. Neither feels good, and they discuss the challenges of parenting in a wheelchair.

    Meanwhile, Fred is in the middle of downsizing for his move with Cris, sorting through sentimental belongings, old letters, and the difficult choices of what to keep. Plus, after a week on the carnivore diet, Fred is feeling sharper than ever—something that might have given him an edge at poker, where he pulled off a rare royal flush!

  • What a Mushroom Ceremony really looks like 🍄

    Many individuals with disabilities face unique challenges that can significantly impact their mental well-being, leading to increased risks of depression and other mental health disorders.

    We explore potential alternatives for managing mental health risks, focusing on the use of natural substances like psilocybin—a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in certain mushrooms - and other practices like meditation and mindfulness and discuss whether there is a place for them all in the battle against depression.
    Our goal is to foster an open dialogue about innovative approaches to mental health care that prioritize safety, efficacy, and holistic well-being. We’ll also discuss practical steps and considerations for those interested in exploring these alternative treatments.
