41. You Are Not a Burden
The new year can sparkle and still hurt. In this episode, I talk about loneliness during festive disruption, moving to person-led support, and unlearning internalised ableism shaped by growing up with a disability in a world that expects you to be “low maintenance.”I share my intentions for 2026 and why taking up space, asking for help, and not apologising for existing matters.If you’ve ever felt invisible in a season that promises connection, you’re not alone.Thanks so much for listening to A Wheelie Good Chat!

Driven By with Sam Coates
"Buried $500K Drug Cash, Prison Plea with God, Bootstrapped Boarding School" with Melvin Cole
Some stories don’t fit neatly into a redemption arc. Melvin Cole’s is one of them.On the latest episode of Drive By with Sam Coates, Cole, founder of PURE Academy in Memphis, shares a raw, unpolished account of growing up in extreme poverty, entering the drug trade at age 11, surviving gun violence and ultimately choosing a radically different path. Raised by a heroin-addicted grandmother in South Memphis, Cole lost his sister as a toddler due to a medical misdiagnosis, experienced childhood sexual abuse and became a father at just 14.

40. Consent Isn’t Awkward
This final episode of the year is a reflective conversation about consent and why it matters in everyday life.I talk about how physical touch, especially hugging, is often automatic and well intentioned, but not always comfortable for everyone. From my own perspective, I share why consent is about more than just intention. It’s about pausing, checking in and allowing people the space to choose.This episode looks at consent through a broader lens, beyond disability alone. Everyone has different boundaries, comfort levels and experiences, and those can change over time. Respecting that doesn’t ma...

What if the problem isn’t you, but the job description you’re trying to squeeze into?
