This episode features Megan Gleason, a para climber and national team athlete with cerebral palsy. Megan shares her journey from fearing heights to finding empowerment through climbing, discovering a supportive CP community online, and even joining a mission trip to the Paralympics—not to compete, but to celebrate other athletes’ stories.
Together, they explore the mental resilience required in adaptive sports, the intersection of faith and disability, and the joy of finding a sport that feels just right. Megan also opens up about her advocacy work, how she navigates being both an athlete and a person of faith, and her advice for new adaptive athletes.
