Description

When it comes to wheelchair repairs, navigating the system shouldn’t be harder than the fix itself—but for Sean, that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, he shares the frustrating saga of dealing with a major medical equipment provider, exposing the inefficiencies, miscommunications, and outright absurdities of the process. From lost time to pointless bureaucracy, Sean’s experience highlights the challenges disabled individuals face just to maintain their independence. It’s a wild ride that many in the disability community will relate to—if not shake their heads at in disbelief.

But this episode isn’t just about headaches—it’s also about resilience and storytelling. Kyle and Sean sit down with author and father of three, Jay Armstrong, who was diagnosed with cerebellar atrophy later in life. Jay opens up about his journey from grieving his past life to embracing the present, sharing how humor and gratitude shape his perspective. With multiple books under his belt, including Bedtime Stories for the Living, Jay’s insights into self-discovery, perspective shifts, and finding meaning in everyday moments offer a fresh take on what it truly means to adapt. Stick around for a deep, thoughtful conversation filled with honesty, laughs, and a whole lot of wisdom.
