A Different Way of Seeing. Helping You Make Sense of the Overwhelm
A few days ago I found myself wondering how many podcast interviews I had done relating to adaptive sports and activities. When I looked back through the podcast feed I was excited to see how many there were. Today I’m going to share a few past episodes with you in the hope they might inspire …
Hosting a podcast on accessible travel, I often have the opportunity to chat with interesting people about a wide range of topics. My last few podcasts have been no exception.

Admittedly, when I started the project, I imagined it would take me only a month …
Here is another podcast interview I did recently, this time with the Eyes on Success podcast. It’s not often that the interviews I give are based primarily on my illustrated children’s series, “The Adventures of Missy Mouse”.
