Episode Description
And we’re baccckkkk for series 2 of The Disabled Debrief Podcast! Nina Tame is something of a force of nature, and you have probably seen her on Instagram when it comes to her ‘get ready with me to talk about disability’ videos. To kick off the start of series 2 of The Disabled Debrief Podcast, we talked to Nina about a huge range of topics - including but not limited to: disabled parenthood and the need for better representation when it comes to disability and pregnancy; what to do and what not to do to support a wheelchair use; and how therapists can help support disabled patients better.
TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that there are some heavy, dark topics mentioned in this podcast episode, especially when it comes to referencing the pandemic. Viewers are advised to listen with caution.
