One of the most heartwarming and incredible sunny parts about living through a pandemic - is to really think about other people’s lives with compassion. These are countless people known as essential workers risking their lives everyday to keep our world safe, healthy, fed, connected, and keep the world moving. I am so grateful to those people.

And by the same token, we are thinking about the needs of others. We are considering how other people live and how can we safely help our neighbors, community, and loved ones.

One of the things I was very struck by was from my work colleague, Carden Wyckoff. She has recently launched a podcast called Freewheelin’ with Cardenofmilk. She is a wheelchair warrior, a bad ass at life, a HUGE advocate for people with physical and unseen disabilities and accessibility worldwide - and is probably one of the most optimistic and interesting people I know.

We got to sit down before we were all in quarantine and talk about what life is really like from a wheelchair and some fascinating stories I would have never imagined - and we talked about what accessibility means. And when I listened to one of her episodes, she talked about how she would be impacted if we do go into full-blown lockdown. It was mind-blowing and I have been so excited to share this episode with you.
