Descripción

Meet Anne Mok: a blind storyteller, fearless advocate, TEDx speaker, and forthcoming author. Through her unwavering commitment to advocacy and storytelling, Anne reshapes the narrative of what it means to thrive despite challenges.

In this Episode, we delve into her pursuit to tear down digital barriers, a mission that resonated deeply with me as I recounted my cousin's struggle with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Anne's advocacy is not just about bringing change to the digital realm for the visually impaired and chronically ill; it's a clear call for us all to weave accessibility into the fabric of our online communities. This episode is a rally cry for representation, underscored by the power of simple yet transformative tools like image descriptions, thoughtful hashtag usage, and alt text. It's about recognizing and embracing the diversity in our audience, in the disabled community and beyond. Join us on this journey and witness the ripple effect of storytelling in crafting a world where empathy reigns and inclusivity is not an afterthought but a cornerstone.

Before the Clock Stops Ticking: Building A Global Eating Disorder Documentary

The story we’ve been sold about eating disorders is way too small, and it’s costing lives. On this Episode I sit down with producers Morgan Maxwell DiPrimo and Mary Miller of Lotus Light Productions to unpack how a personal recovery journey, a family’s heartbreaking loss, and more than 200 interviews became the blueprint for a documentary that aims to change minds, policy, and practice. Morgan and Mary's plan blends storytelling with tangible change: clinician training where it’s missing, school-ready education for teachers and parents, and community spaces that mirror recovery networks seen in addiction care.  Morgan’s path - finding purpose through work and life beyond the disorder - illustrates what real recovery can look like: identity restored, passions rediscovered, and hope made practical. Their social platform, Your Recovery Besties, opens the door now with relatable, non-triggering content and behind-the-scenes progress as the film moves forward under the working title Before the Clock Stops Ticking. If you care about mental health, healthcare equity, or better support for families, this conversation offers clear takeaways and next steps. Follow @YourRecoveryBesties on TikTok for updates, and share this powerful episode with someone who needs to hear it. Your voice helps keep this movement growing.
