Hi, I’m Brittney!

I want to help you spend less time worrying about the challenges that come with a disability so you can spend more time creating a life you love!

I don’t know about you, but when I was a little girl I sure didn’t dream about being in a wheelchair when I grew up. That wasn’t in my life plan, and yet here I am. Here you are. 

I’ve been in a wheelchair for 22 years and it took me WAY TOO LONG to learn ALL. THE. THINGS. that come with having a spinal cord injury. I want to save you some of those years and those tears by sharing everything I have learned about navigating life with a disability.

My goal is to help you be HAPPIER, live HEALTHIER, and feel AWESOME about your life, wheelchair and all!

Welcome back to Wheel Talk! In today’s episode, we’re diving into the recent changes to Disneyland’s Disability Pass and what it means for guests with disabilities. We’ll explore whether these adjustments aim to create a more equitable experience for guests that need it or whether the changes will make Disneyland less inclusive.

Welcome back to Wheel Talk! In this episode, we tackle the question: Are people with disabilities considered burdens to their families, friends, or society? We explore the societal perceptions and personal experiences surrounding this complex issue. Additionally, we confront the etiquette of personal space and boundaries, focusing on the question: Should people touch a wheelchair without asking? We examine the importance of consent and respect in our interactions with individuals with disabilities. Lastly, we discuss the concept of failure—how it's often perceived as negative, yet can lead to important learning experiences and growth. Is failure a stepping stone to success, or does it hold us back? Join us for an enlightening discussion that challenges stereotypes, encourages empathy, and fosters understanding!

Welcome back to Wheel Talk! #HatersGonnaHate #OnlineNegativity #StayKind Listen on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/show/3N2HfITEwH3qsbzn90MRjb?si=b7IBljn5SL2em3FPRUVOBg Being in the public eye isn’t always easy. Along with the support and positive messages, there are also negative comments, harsh critiques, and constant assumptions. In this video, we open up about what it’s like to navigate these challenges — from dealing with unwarranted judgments to managing the emotional toll of being misunderstood. It's not just about responding to negativity; it's about finding balance, staying true to ourselves, and remembering why we started this journey in the first place. I hope sharing our experience helps others who are also putting themselves out there and reminds us all to be kinder online. 💙 Let us know in the comments if you’ve faced similar challenges or have any tips on dealing with negativity! #HatersGonnaHate #OnlineNegativity #StayKind
