My Mama Done Told Me

057 - Headspace feat. Andrew Gurza

69 min • 3 mars 2025

In order to truly embrace disability, find joy in creativity, challenge societal misconceptions, and be hot while doing it - you have to be in a certain headspace.


Welcome, Strangers, to Headspace by My Mama Done Told Me

In this segment, we sit down with experts in various professions, hobbies, spiritualities, and passions—seeking a glimpse into their unique perspectives on life and all its complexities.In this episode, Jeff and Lauren had the honor to spend some time with disability awareness consultant, author, and podcaster Andrew Gurza. We discuss his experiences as a queer disabled person, his journey writing his new book: Notes from a Queer Cripple: How to Cultivate Queer Disabled Joy (and Be Hot While Doing It!), and the intersections of disability, sexuality, and advocacy.

Andrew shares his insights on independence vs. interdependence, the emotional toll of advocacy work, and finding joy through creativity and connection.

Check your priviledge, y'all!
