Podcast Title: The Good in the Bad: Is Disability a Blessing or a Curse?Series: The Advocacy Life with Kevin Nunez | Season 4, Episode 6

Episode Description:Is disability a punishment? A blessing? An inspiration? Or a detriment to society? These are heavy questions that many people are too afraid to ask, but on The Advocacy Life, we don't do "comfortable."In this episode, Kevin Nunez explores the complex duality of living with a disability. Moving past the "sanitized" versions of advocacy, Kevin discusses the "Good in the Bad"—the idea that you cannot have success without struggle, and you cannot have the "good" without accepting the "bad." From Star Trek science officers to the deep theological questions of why disability exists, this episode is a call to find balance, ignore the noise of negativity, and accept your full self.In this episode, we discuss:
