Speaker 1:

Welcome to she's Her. My new podcast and she's Her will be recorded on Tuesdays and Thursdays and occasionally on the Wednesdays. Wednesdays would probably be just me, and the reason why I wanted to create she Is Her is because I wanted to break the mental health stigma, the mental health stigma, and so she is not only my mental health journey, but it's primarily for people with, primarily females with disabilities, all disabilities, including physical, mental, spiritual, um, yeah, physical, mental, mental blocks. You name it, we shall host it. So my name is Wynne.

Speaker 1:

I have cerebral palsy. Right now, I'm bend-bound due to a leg injury that started on my birthday but just kept getting worse, and I'm doing PT for a set leg injury and that is actually going very well. So that is amazing. I'll see what my osteopedic surgeon says on Friday, friday August 22nd, I have a osteopedic surgeon meeting because I also have a fractured ball of my hip, somehow probably falling on my birthday Typical me fall risk. Cp doesn't stop me, though. Cp doesn't stop me, though, and while I'm in bed, I might as well continue to produce podcasts. So so, as I said, she Is Her will be published on Tuesdays and Sundays, on the occasional Wednesday. Wednesday will be just me, and if you want to reach out, you can Google my name Wynne W-I-N-N. Charles, c-h-a-l-l-e-s. My main website is awinningheartwebeliescom, and so yeah, and I'll put that in the show notes and this is Hoosted on Lipson, and I will be recording Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I said, and it's going to be a wild ride talking about mental health and disabilities, and I hope you would learn from said disabilities and I hope you would learn about the female journey with disabilities.

Speaker 1:

The reason why I did not include the men in this is because women in general get overlooked, and so what? What may have happening is women in general get overlooked, and especially gay women and women with a disability in general, and and in the disability to being gay, yeah, you've got a problem. My line is who do you want to have a conversation with? All three? The gay, the aspect of the gay, or the disabled person, person, or just women in general?

Speaker 1:

If it's women in general, that's great, but if it's gay, that's even better. But if it's all three, then you're messing with the wrong person and I am actually overprotective of those who I love and those who love me. So, basically, right now I am sitting in my bed in Phoenix, arizona, and I'm dying to get out of this bed. I mean, I have been in this bed for a while and so welcome to the maiden voyage of she Is Her, and I hope we get a lot of downloads and a lot of help and a lot of support to break the stigma of mental health. Thanks, you guys.
