Listen

In this episode of Pushing Forward with Alycia, Alycia Anderson welcomes Olivia Murphy, a disability advocate, speaker, and podcast host of 'Living My Best Disabled Life.' They discuss Olivia's journey of embracing her disabilities, overcoming internalized ableism, and using her platform to celebrate and advocate for the disability community. Olivia shares her experiences with cerebral palsy and being a late-diagnosed autistic, revealing the challenges and triumphs she encountered. The conversation also delves into the importance of authentic representation in media, Olivia's upcoming children's book 'How Olivia Learned to Live Her Best Disabled Life,' and the significance of creating inclusive environments.
