Disability: Tragedy, Inspiration… or Something Else? with Matthew Mooney • Take the Next Step

Описание: E15 — Tired of feeling like you have to “fix” your child—or turn their life into an inspiration story? Parents of kids with disabilities are often pushed toward two extremes: tragedy or triumph. But what if both miss the point? In this conversation, Amy Julia Becker and Matthew Mooney (co-founder of 99 Balloons) offer a healthier way to understand disability—rooted in shared humanity, vulnerability, and real relationships.

Plus: simple language shifts you can use at home and with friends starting today.
