In this episode, Lyd & Liv dive right in with the bubbly Denise Vargas, a fiery Puerto Rican woman from New York. Denise has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, but despite the physical challenges life has thrown at her, she's more determined, positive, and creative than most. What was it like for her to hear she wouldn't live past 10-years-old, only to defeat the odds by a few decades?
We ask: what are some misconceptions that able-bodied people have about living with a disability? And since we're all curious, what's it like having sex with a wheelchair? Denise tells us the story of her diagnosis and gives some examples of how she's lived creatively within her own life, be that her night owl tendencies or constant ability to overcome the odds stacked against her.
