For this week's episode of the podcast, Lucy speak's with Indy about skiing, art and disability. Indy is one the teachers at Stagecoach, who put on performing arts workshops for children.

She lives with a condition called Oculofacialcardiodental Syndrome and is registered blind. Indy and Lucy discuss the therapeutic power of art as Indy shares how her degree in Creative Expressive Art helped her grieve the loss of her vision last year.

Lucy was lucky to catch Indy before she headed to Whistler for a ski season with The Whistler Adaptive Ski and Snowboard Program. Indy will be training the trainers in assisting visually impaired skiers.

Listen out for the tiny voice of Lucy's daughter :)
