Rainbows and Unicorns

In Episode 10 of Rainbows and Unicorns, I unpack one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as a person with a disability living in today’s political climate: nobody is coming to save us—but we still have the power to speak up. After a viral post about wheelchair user rights on flights sparked backlash and misinformation, I did the unthinkable: actual research. What I found shocked me—and it had nothing to do with clickbait headlines or which political party I voted for. This episode dives into: What really happened with the Rights on Flights rollback Why your vote doesn’t equal blind loyalty How to fact-check like a boss (especially in the disability space) The danger of narrow-mindedness—on both sides of the aisle Why it’s time we stop fighting each other and start fighting for each other I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I do know this: I’m not going to let fear, ignorance, or politics silence me from protecting what matters. If you’re ready for real talk about accountability, advocacy, and how we move forward together—you’re in the right place. 📝 Take Action: I’ve have template and contact list I will email to you.

It's been hard to get these episodes up. this is my life update, thoughts about my relationship, and life as a whole, from the car, because thats the only way this currently gets done.

I partnered with Team USA in their content creator program where they flew me to Paris to create content around the Paralympics. It was the trip of a life time.

In this episode I'm joined by Brianna as we share our experience on the streets of San Antonio during the Adaptive Crossfit Games.

We often expect people to show up the way we want them to. We must believe their actions. So often we put hope in the way people are, believe them when they show you their true colors.

It's no secret, that when you treat the blocks in your calendar like life or death appointments, you actually make progress toward the life you want to live. Calendar blocking gives you your time back if you truly stick to it.

Jesi is joined by Brianna. Together they talk about how once you realize how powerful you are, you cannot unsee it.

This is where the game changes. Where I created intent behind my action. Here's to where I came from and where we are going. Please allow me to reintroduce myself.

Catching you up on all things 2024 in my life!

This episode i'm joined by Brianna. :)

We only know what we know. Our view on life is relative to our perspective of life. If we do not expose ourselves to others' experiences, we will have a narrow perspective of life as a whole. It is your responsibility to broaden your view of the world.

A lot of my life takes place in my car. I realized if I didn't start turning the mic on in the car, I wouldn't record a pod. So please excuse the next couple of episodes. They are a little rocky.

This is a special episode. I gave a keynote at the 2023 NENA Conference where I talked about my journey becoming a disabled person and returning to work. To navigate disability I used services from a government-funded organization called Full Circle.

I recently had my second spinal fusion revision surgery. I broke the titanium hardware in my spine in half. They removed the old hardware, replacing it with thicker screws and rods.

Take ownership of your own life. Stop allowing others to control the life they aren't living.

In this episode, I talk about why I committed to 75 Hard to prepare for spinal fusion surgery. In March of this year, I broke the fusion holding my back together in HALF. I couldn't get scheduled for surgery until August. 77 days before surgery was scheduled, I committed to 75 Hard to MENTALLY prepare for surgery. I wanted to be sure I was as prepared as possible to have my back open. This is what I learned throughout the entire program.
