MEXICO: the power of people/inclusivity and judgment/the meaning of resilience and how to practice gratitude S3 I Ep36

Today we speak to speaker and life consultant Jose Carlos (JC) in his home office in Tijuana, Mexico. JC and I met through a podcast network and his enthusiasm for this project and his commitment to creating in a crisis really stood out for me. And as it is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities today, December 3, JC's episode was important to share as he highlights so eloquently the particular challenges Covid has brought to people who are living with a disability. * Every seventh person alive today – more than 1 billion people in total – lives with some form of disability. Despite this persons with disabilities are still overwhelmingly overlooked in times of emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. What did this mean for JC personally? * When we spoke it was the height of lockdown in Mexico, and the challenges Mexico faced in particular due to late shut down, high numbers hospitalised and lack of resources; * the power of people, and what he is missing without this physical contact. * the power of awareness and how that has changed in a quieter, slower world. * What resilience means to JC and how gratitude is the cornerstone of his approach to life.
