66. Mind Your Words: Personal Comments Are Not Welcome

Five friends join in on this episode to share some of the remarks made about them in the past that have been impossible to shake. We should never be commenting on people's bodies, appearances, mannerisms, differences or anything really.  This is also the episode where I talk about how to effectively and respectfully address our kids' questions about differences when we're out in public. And I also may burst into some Quiet Riot.  As mentioned in this episode: @ableismistrash **** This podcast was recorded in Garageband and edited by Lisa Thornbury.
