Looking For Your Own Answers - Simon Sansome

Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.
This week Co-host of ‘The Grumpy Gits’ podcast Simon Sansome talks about his experience of disability following Cauda Equina Syndrome spinal damage.
He discusses how his disability stories have helped and influenced others, how he has worked on changing policies and his current involvement in research at Oxford University
Simon also candidly discusses how society is not fair or equal for those with a disability and how he is working to make positive change
The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.
Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.
As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!
