The Tangent
There's a point… and we’ll get there.
Together we explore the complicated, quirkiest, and most amusing (often untold) details of living with a disability. This isn't your typical disability podcast—it's a wild ride through the rollercoaster of diversity, complete with side-splitting tangents that prove laughing through the confusion is the best way to go.
I'm your host Chaeli - I’ve been disabled and a wheelchair user my whole life. I’ll guide you through many unfiltered tales and unexpected twists that make up an extraordinary, full life. Join us as we unravel the threads of resilience and humor, sharing candid conversations with guests who've conquered obstacles and found the punchline in life's hilarious curveballs.
Tune in, subscribe, and let's embark on a journey where every tangent leads to a moment of genuine, uplifting clarity... eventually.
