The Crip Trip Disability Podcast

“You Don’t Look Disabled” The Reality Behind It

Not all disabilities are visible but that does not make them any less real.  In this episode of the Crip Trip Podcast, Danny and Fred are joined by Dreena for an honest conversation about invisible disabilities and the barriers people face every day.  From being misunderstood to navigating spaces that were never designed with them in mind, this episode explores the challenges that often go unseen.  This is a conversation about awareness, access and changing how we think about disability.   Watch the Video version now on YouTube [https://youtu.be/7wtL2ZQhVw8] Chapters * Show Intro (00:00) * Introducing Dreena Davis (00:20) * Conflict Analysis & Management (01:31) * Invisible Disabilities: Accommodations & Biases (02:20) * Evolution of Accommodation (06:47) * Late Diagnosis (08:00) * Post-Secondary Supports (09:56) * Hiring Discrimination (13:10) * Accommodating Chronic Illnesses (15:51) * Advocates & Coaches (16:39) * Support Organizations (18:21) * Pro’s & Con’s of Entrepreneurship (19:43) * Ableism (21:42) * Progress, Human Rights & Conflict Mediation (23:28) * Closing Remarks (29:55) Check out Crip Trip highlights and the video podcast episodes on YouTube!

Accessibility Isn’t Free, Here’s the Real Cost

What does it actually cost to adapt your life?  In this episode of the Crip Trip Podcast, Daniel and Fred are joined by Bean Gill for a raw and honest conversation about the financial reality of accessibility.  From equipment and home modifications to everyday barriers, Bean breaks down the true cost of independence and why so many are left to figure it out on their own.  This is a conversation about more than money. It is about access, equity and what it really takes to live independently.   Watch the video version of this episode now on YouTube [https://youtu.be/L5DG1pGGrRA] Chapters * Show Intro (00:00) * Introducing Bean Gill of Push (00:20) * The Disability Tax (01:37) * Grants & Transportation Costs (03:17) * Vehicle Accessibility Modifications (05:45) * Wheelchair Side Guards (07:52) * Crip Trip Van Adaptations (08:44) * ReYu & the High Cost of Adapting Sports, Exercise & Hobbies (09:40) * Barriers to Exercise & Staying Healthy (13:03) * Benefits of Body Confidence (15:11) * Affording a Healthy Diet (17:04) * The Right to Pee Movement (18:16) * Adapted Archery & Gym Equipment (23:03) * The Beast’s Standing Frame & Other Wild DIY Adaptations (25:46) * Accessing Grants for Adaptations (27:28) * Closing Remarks (29:55) More About Bean’s Non-Profit: ReYu [https://reyu.ca/about/] ReYu was a concept long before it had a name or a physical location, dating back to 2013. It all started with Bean, who was paralyzed and wanted more than traditional therapy was giving her. She ventured down to California and found a place where neurorecovery was promoted. She saw results that blew her mind and she knew this was a game changer for her. She then reached out to find a trainer to carry out her home program. This is when Bean and Nancy first met. They trained together for a few years and Nancy started working with others in the community as a mobile service. Once the word spread it was clear there was a need for this in the greater Edmonton Area. Bean and Nancy discussed opening a physical location for about a year and a half and then one day it was decided to take the leap and do just that.   Check out Crip Trip highlights and the video podcast episodes on YouTube!

Assisted Dying in Canada: The Debate Isn’t Over

Daniel and Fred speak with Tanya (Director, Health Technology & Policy Unit at the University of Alberta) and Christina (PhD student and social worker) about Canada’s MAID system including a Health Canada- commissioned review they worked on and balancing autonomy with strong, clearer safeguards. They trace the evolution of MAID through key rulings and laws—Carter v. Canada, Bills C-14 and C-7, and the delayed expansion to sole mental illness until March 2027—then present findings from interviews with 86 stakeholders and 34 family members across Canada. The research highlights inconsistent interpretations of “reasonably foreseeable death,” wide variation in “independent assessments,” and concerns about limited psychosocial supports, insufficient discussion of alternatives, and family exclusion. The episode concludes with a central tension: how to balance patient autonomy with clearer safeguards, especially as expansion looms amid psychiatrist shortages and gaps in continuity of care nationwide today.
