Surviving Trauma and Finding Purpose:Roxy recounts her severe car accident in December 2021 and how surviving and healing from trauma catalyzed her drive to become an even more empowered advocate for people with disabilities. She and Liz bond over how health crises can be transformative, with Roxy sharing how hers rewired her outlook for positivity and activism.
The Power of Community & Celebration:Roxy speaks about her role as a supportive “fairy godmother” in business communities, emphasizing the need for women (and everyone!) to celebrate both big milestones and small steps in their journeys. She urges listeners not to downplay their dreams and to find people who will root for them.
Embracing Wellness & Holistic Healing:Roxy explains her approach to wellness, preferring deep, medically informed healing work over superficial treatments. She discusses modalities like manual lymphatic drainage (and distinguishes it from more aesthetic-focused approaches), nervous system resets, and the value of somatic healing—caring for both emotional and physical well-being.
Mythbusting “Somatic Work”:Roxy defines somatic work as more than just bodywork—it’s about holding space for deep emotional releases, connection, and authentic support, going past traditional therapy models.
Disability Empowerment and Advocacy:With Embracing Disability, Roxy's focus is on accessibility awareness, education, empowerment, and social change. She discusses her mission to make society more inclusive—whether via direct advocacy, creative clothing solutions, or storytelling.
Inclusive Fashion as Advocacy:Roxy announces a new adaptive clothing initiative to foster inclusivity and dialogues around disability, using wearable items as a conversation starter and community bridge.
