Today’s guest is Alison Battaglia, PhD, a fabulous single woman with paraplegia. She talks with us about her marriage, divorce, and dating and shares her mid-life revelations about managing the intrusive questions and indecencies she’s been subjected to daily for almost 40 years—and take note, she has some really great come-backs. She is reflective on her life experiences and resiliency and optimistic and excited about her next chapters in love, life and career.
