Welcome to DISRUPT: The Podcast with Eloiza Domingo and Andrés Tapia. Through the lens of four key pillars: Work, Relationships, Society, and Play, we unpack what it means to not just survive disruption, but to thrive because of it.
Each episode features conversations with the two hosts and with Disrupters, boundary-pushers, rule-breakers, and changemakers who defied expectations, shook up their industries, and rewrote the playbook in the face of adversity. These are the stories of people who didn’t play it safe, because playing it safe never changed the world.
Whether you're facing change or chasing it, this podcast is your guide to navigating the chaos with clarity, courage, and creativity.

Disability Rights Lawyer Exposes Why We Fear Disability Most | Lauren Schrero
Disability is "the one diversity issue we feared the most"—because any of us can enter it at any moment. Lauren Schrero, disability rights attorney and co-founder of The Nora Project, just exposed the truth about why disability remains invisible in our schools, workplaces, and communities. Hosts Eloiza Domingo and Andrés Tapia go deep into Lauren's personal journey to learn why she left corporate law, how her daughter's birth transformed her purpose, and why disability education is the civil rights issue of our time. This isn't just an episode about advocacy—it's a masterclass in systemic change. Lauren breaks down the shocking reality of how disability is hidden in families and communities, why parents often infantilize disabled children, and the revolutionary impact of teaching disability studies from elementary school through high school. We challenge misconceptions about disability inclusion, the diversity and inclusion movement, and what it really takes to build truly inclusive communities. If you think you understand diversity, prepare to have your mind blown by the secrets of a disability rights disruptor. Tune in to learn the true way to build inclusive classrooms and why your current understanding of diversity is incomplete.

Trauma to Triumph: How One Woman's Story is Reshaping Immigrant Advocacy
TRAUMA TO TRIUMPH. 🤯 Carmen Patlan, Executive Director of the Center for Immigrant Progress, joins hosts Eloiza Domingo and Andrés Tapia to reveal how her harrowing journey from childhood neglect to national leadership is fundamentally reshaping the immigrant advocacy movement. What happens when you transform your deepest pain into your greatest purpose? How does a formerly undocumented immigrant become a two-time IMLS National Medal winner and visionary leader? And what does trauma-informed care really mean when you've lived it? This is more than a survival story—it's a blueprint for revolutionary change. Carmen opens up about the unimaginable poverty and neglect she endured in rural Mexico, the miraculous rescue that saved her family's life, and the spiritual awakening that shaped her mission. She breaks down how her lived experience of trauma informs her groundbreaking work in community engagement, why cultural competency isn't just a buzzword, and how she's building a movement centered on compassion rather than charity. We dive deep into the real cost of immigration, the power of invisible communities finding their voice, and why her story matters now more than ever. Tune in to hear how one woman's triumph over trauma is reshaping what immigrant advocacy looks like.
