More times than I can count. In hospitals, in workplaces, in government offices with mountains of paperwork... Just trying to live my life with dignity and independence.I'm Dawn Olson, and I've spent my life navigating systems and spaces that weren't designed with people like me in mind. I've felt the frustration, the isolation, and yes, sometimes the defeat.But I've also experienced the power of finding my voice. The community that emerges when we share our stories. And the change that's possible when we refuse to accept the world as it is.That's what this podcast is about. It's about the hard conversations and the honest truths.
