You relate with self-deprecating humour.Accessibility Challenges: You highlight a disabled woman's disappointing experience at a Halloween event, segueing into a personal story about a retreat for chronic pain where people judged a woman for using a wheelchair sporadically.💬 Tangent Highlights & Personal Reflections You go on several tangents that add charm, humor, and depth to the episode:Retreat for Chronic Pain: A long story about a mindfulness/Buddhist retreat focused on chronic pain, detailing snowstorms, group dynamics, and an incident involving judgment over a woman's wheelchair use.Funny Misunderstandings: You share times you've inappropriately laughed — during a funeral, while watching Comic Relief, and during counseling sessions. These stories are both heartfelt and hilariously awkward.Counselling Challenges: You reflect on being a counsellor and joke about writing a book titled "What If I Need to Fart?" — meant to highlight the unspoken realities of the profession with humor.Pavement Parking: You touch on frustration about cars blocking pavements, especially for wheelchair users and parents with prams.🎙️ Media, Pop Culture & MusicBig Brother Audience: You talk about the changing nature of the show’s audience and question the authenticity of its “inclusivity.”Predator Prequel ("Prey"): You're curious about this film, wondering why you’ve never seen it.

This sparks ideas about deeper reflections and possibly framing it as a yearly review or autobiographical project.🐶 Vinny UpdatesVinny is mentioned a few times as being quiet during the recording.You reflect that you’ve had him for almost three years, and remember you first got him on a Saturday in December.There’s a brief mention of him “dropping one,” keeping the tone light and real.🛏️ Closing Thoughts You muse about sponsorship ideas — like comfy beds that tie into the sleep theme — and end with your signature closing: “Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve to be happy… and be gentle with yourself… you deserve to feel safe.”
