So, You're Disabled? (SYD) is a podcast where Soph and Tam use their lived experiences to explore what it's like to live with a disability or to be disabled in our current world. They explore how history impacts these experiences and imagine futures outside of our current realities. These conversations are designed to be accessible to people both in and out of the disability community to help bridge gaps in understanding and change the ways we're responding to disability in our everyday lives.
It's been a hot minute. Tam has returned from Italy and has the juicy recap for us all! Soph has been, well just waiting for Tam to get back and things get a bit silly. This is a fun ep and Tam and Soph are just glad to be back with all of you!

Intersecting Identities
Even though we may share having a disability in common, it's the intersections of our identities that can also inform how we experience disability, the obstacles we face and how we see ourselves and our identity. In this episode, Soph and Tam share some of their intersecting identities and how their parents shaped their experiences of disability.

Professionalism
In episode 9, Soph and Tam explore how professionalism is usually just disguised ableism. What even is professionalism? The obligations on us to be "professional" and how this impacts our ability to work and get hired. But not just at work, in school, in dating and in life in general, we have the obligations of professionalism placed on us. We're held to standards we can't meet and judged harshly for not meeting them. But how does our need for regular breaks or non-standard working hours and conditions impact our ability to perform in life? Spoiler alert: it doesn't!
