0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of I Way with Jameena Jamal, a podcast that wants shame to die.
0:06.8	I hope you're well. I'm all right. I think I'm starting to... I'm either in shock as to how bad things
0:12.9	are in the world or I'm starting to process it all and starting to breathe again and recognize that
0:20.0	it might actually be okay and we still do have time to turn many things around and I'm just
0:27.1	trying to deep breathe my way through it. I have also been reunited with my dog in the last
0:33.2	couple of days since my last slightly frenetic intro for this podcast and so that's probably
0:38.9	also helped and calm me down massively because I haven't seen him for 10 hucking weeks and so that's
0:44.4	been great. If you haven't seen my dog head on to my Instagram and look at my highlight called
0:49.0	Barreld for truly the best part of your day. I know everyone says that but my dog really is
0:55.3	parking, fantastic. Anyway, so I'm starting to get ready for the fight ahead. I think that's the

1:19.2	doing because it's really easy to feel powerless but we aren't powerless. We are actually the ones
1:26.0	who have all of the power in our hands. We're just never told that so that we don't use it and
1:31.9	now it's time to know it, to use it and to win. Today's episode is so good and so important and
1:44.4	inspiring and funny and silly and deep and all of the things that one could hope for
1:52.5	over podcast episode. My guest is Lauren Lolo Spenser and she is an extraordinary
1:59.2	activist, disability activist in particular, a lifestyle influencer, an actress, a model,
2:05.0	a public speaker and a content creator. She has this amazing YouTube channel called Sitting
2:09.8	Pretty that shows a very realistic and uplifting and fun and waltz and all side of disability and
2:16.6	living with one and how it doesn't have to impede your happiness or your freedom or your sex life.
2:24.0	She's just incredibly open and cool and we just never see enough of this sort of content in the world.
