Ep134 - Maria Pendolino: Raising Your Voice about Disability Employment
In an industry where representation of disabled individuals is distressingly rare, there are rock stars out there who are amplifying their voices in order to change that. Award-winning professional voice-over actor Maria Pendolino is one of them. At 22, she was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, a painful chronic condition that can affect mobility. But that didn't stop her from moving mountains for others just like her. As part of Disability Employment Awareness Month, Maria shares more about what's being done to create more authentic representation in film, television, and the voice-over industry. Including what you can do to be part of the change for yourself and those you love. Being the daughter of a disabled father, this is a subject close to my heart that you've heard me talk about on the HIListically Speaking Podcast. But this time, we're taking a bolder step forward in what Maria calls, " a world that isn't made for us." You can connect with Maria on her website at voicebymaria.com.

Ep132: Janine Charron: Face-Off: Embracing Mental Fitness, Breast Cancer and Life Beyond Sports
When it comes to navigating some big storms, former professional women's hockey player Janine Charron says, "Game On!" Janine has always embraced the T.I.G.E.R. within. It's something she not only learned at an early age when she hit the ice, but the sage advice from her dad and grandfather. And that wisdom and discipline have helped her through some difficult times. From bankruptcy to breast cancer and divorce and deal breakers, Janine has treated it as part of life's currency: which means continuing to show up and keep going for the goal. But this is more than about the game of hockey. As she says, sports are what you do, they're not who you are. On this episode of HIListically Speaking , Janine shares more about life's playbook and getting to "know thyself". The mental fitness that's necessary to understand your values, boundaries, and standards. The tools to help your kids self-lead and be mental and physical athletes. How sitting in the silence was the biggest lesson after her breast cancer diagnosis and the healing hand that was the wake-up call. Plus she not only answers your questions about showing up for your child athlete and yourself to build resiliency.
