In the first 18 years of the ADA, the definition of Disability had gotten very limited.
The ADAAA set out to correct that problem.  (To review: watch episodes 241-245 or this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLursF4R-Unw-HfI7260inwJF15Xy-K03M )
What does it mean to be Disabled?
How does changing the systems, attitudes, structures, and beliefs, start to make positive changes for more than just those we set out to improve things for?

Episode 280: The ADA-Transformation!

Are you one of the millions living with a chronic illness or pain?  Our diseases may be very different, but we have many of the same experiences, obstacles and frustrations.   We are all working for a better quality of life knowing that pain and limitations will be our traveling companions.  My name is Annette and I'm the host of Chronic Wellness, a brief, weekly, podcast where we talk about it all: sex, self-care, mental heath, loss of identity, anger, how to navigate health care and have less days that suck so hard.

I have this belief that: If health is the absence of disease, and wellness is the presence of wholeness;  whether or not I'm ever "healthy" again, I can work work toward my wellness, my wholeness.  

Curious?  Join me where you listen to Podcasts, for a few moments of Chronic Wellness.
