Michaela Broderick (Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 & Lymphedema) | #95

ListenABLE

"I spent a lot of my life scared of is it my... mortality? I was scared a lot that I can't do things like everybody else, that I had to go hard or go home, 'die before you're 30 plan'. And then now I'm 28 and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I now need to save and do the big adult things.'" - Michaela Broderick.

Welcome back to ListenABLE for 2024 where our first guest Michaela Broderick doesn’t waste time to not only do the things she wants to do but her passionate and simple acts of advocacy that impacts the future of her community.

With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 and her arms to be described as ‘decorative’, Michaela’s ‘get ready with me’ involves not only a team of support professionals but the versatile tool that is her mouth that allows her to sew, cut, wrap presents, cook, do her makeup and so much more “boring adult stuff” that brings Michaela joy more than most.
Dylan and Angus are also back and Dylan discovers something SHOCKING about Angus’ past. "This is the episode, Big Bombshells. I'm coming in big with 2024" - Angus.
