Can you imagine facing eight different health conditions and still finding the strength to advocate for others? Join us for an inspiring conversation with disability advocate, author, and public speaker, Pey Carter, and her daughter Abigail Bailey. Pey (short for Peighton) opens up about navigating through her own challenges while raising awareness for others and shares the moving story behind her theater project about MST (Military Sexual Trauma), Speaking Out Why I Stand.
Together, we explore the world of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that affects both Pey and her daughter Abby. They bravely discuss their experiences with this condition, the impact it has had on their lives, and how they've learned to adapt. Abby's journey doesn't end there – she is also in the process of becoming a published author, writing a children's picture book about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and spreading a message of hope and understanding.
In this heartfelt episode, we dive into the importance of kindness and encouragement when facing life's obstacles. Learn how this incredible mother-daughter duo have turned their challenges into opportunities to help others and how their resilience and determination can inspire us all. Don't miss this enlightening conversation, and remember to share this episode with someone who could use a little kindness today.
If you want to help Abigail's dream come true you can donate to her Kickstarter Campaign until the end of July.
