As you know on the EXTRAordinary Podcast, we seek out ordinary people living extraordinary lives.  But what about those that have a hard time just being ordinary?  What about the people who already face major challenges just to keep up?  Can they live an extraordinary life?  I believe so.  I believe that just like each and every ordinary person has a unique skill or ability, so do those with disabilities.  Just because you are handy capped in some aspects of life, that doesn’t mean you still cannot thrive in others.  The skill sets may be more difficult to identify or take full advantage of, but I believe everyone has something to offer.  Everyone has something meaningful to contribute.  No matter how challenged they may be.

Overcoming a challenge is what inspires people.  Just making the effort can often be enough to push someone else to take that first step.  That effort motivates others.  Win Charles isn’t just making an effort, she is pushing boundaries and stereotypes for those with Cerebral Palsy.  She holds two college degrees, has published multiple books, and even gave Ironman triathlon a shot.  She also has one of the most professionally run podcasts I have ever experienced.  That is in large part to her best friend and executive producer Danielle Coulter.  Turns Out Dani has the same disability, and her own set of challenges she is overcoming on the slopes in Colorado.  Hear how their paths crossed and how these two ladies changing perspectives and challenging what is possible in my conversation with Win Charles.
