Hi, podletters. I hope you're doing well. Today's episode is When did Disability become so taboo?

So I speak to the amazing Sophie Butler who is a fitness influencer and also a wheelchair user.

We discuss her accident and how she came to be disabled or to have a disability

and also the way that the world perhaps disables us more than injuries, accidents or disabilities

that were born with may do, which might seem like a confusing concept, but it's basically the idea of ableism

and how the world is set up for people who are able-bodied as opposed to those of us who perhaps can't function in a very specific way.

It was so inspiring to speak to Sophie and I think it's a really interesting conversation.

I really hope you enjoy it. As always, please do rate, review and subscribe. Bye!

Hi guys and welcome to Adelting. Today I joined by Sophie Butler.

Hi guys. How are you doing?

Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. How are you? Really good. Thank you.

So today I've got Sophie on to talk to me about accessibility and disability and I wanted to start off with this

because I thought this is like, so I'm also really ignorant of me not to think of it, but it's like pertinent to what we're going to be discussing.

I booked a different studio to record in in Soho and this morning I suddenly thought, oh my god, I don't know if it's wheelchair accessible.

So I emailed them and I said, hey, just checking in fairly certain New York, like a new building. Do you have wheelchair accessibility?

And they said no. And I thought, oh my god, imagine I'm meant to be talking about this and I hadn't even checked.

So luckily now Renee cost you years and it is wheelchair accessible, but I just found that to be really mind-blowing.

So that's kind of like even when you're supposed to be thinking about it, it's just not available.

So people have a bit of a better idea about who you are and what you do. Could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Yes, so I am, so for that, I'm a little bit nervous, so I'm sorry if I stumble. I'm 23 years old, I'm from Essex.

And I am, I guess you would call me a fitness influencer.

Totally. Still not got used to that word yet.
