Welcome back to season two, everyone! We hope you are happy, healthy and as excited as we are to launch this next chapter of our podcast! To kick off season two, Nicole and Alanna are joined by Andrea Lausell – a Los Angeles-based actress, influencer and social activist who was born with Spina Bifida. In this episode, Andrea discusses the role Agent Orange played in her disability and how she has used her platform on social media to create videos featuring tips and tricks to thrive despite the challenges stacked against her – (hint: check out her YouTube & Instagram/TikTok…she is incredible!)

Andrea reveals to us the challenges of being an influencer for the disabled community and the pressures that coincide, as well as how she has made it her mission to dismantle ableism.

She also touches on how she was told at an early age she won’t make it to 30 – something she talks about openly and jokingly.

This is an episode that will shed new light on being born with a disability and will pull at your heartstrings – Happy Season 2, everyone!
