Power of Disabled Siblings

Description

In this heartfelt episode of the Advocacy Life podcast, Kevin shares personal anecdotes about the profound role his siblings have played in his life and advocacy journey. He emphasizes that siblings are often a person's first, best, and sometimes only advocate. Kevin, who was born a twin, discusses the unique bond with his brother, who is also disabled, highlighting how they support and guide each other despite their differing abilities.

The episode also features a moving tribute to his late stepsister, who, though not biologically related or disabled, was a constant source of love and support. Kevin shares how she helped him through a dark period and held up his "light" when he couldn't. He encourages both disabled and non-disabled siblings to cherish their bond, as it provides a unique form of protection and understanding that parents, while loving, may not always be able to offer. This episode is a powerful reminder of the dignity of risk siblings can provide and the unwavering love that exists between them.

Man Talk

Description

This episode is for the guys. In this raw and honest conversation, Kevin dives into the unique challenges of being a disabled man in America. He shares his personal experiences and insights on topics that are rarely discussed, from navigating the complexities of dating and relationships to combating the feeling of being "emasculated" by a society that often sees men with disabilities as children.

This episode aims to give men with disabilities a confidence boost and remind them of their value. Kevin emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and provides a candid perspective on topics like intimacy, financial fears, and gaining acceptance from a partner's family. He also challenges the ableist idea that people with disabilities should only date each other, advocating for a focus on being kind, being yourself, and finding a partner who sees you for who you are, not for your disability.
