19. Disability Employment Part 1- Jamie-Lee and Sam Dwyer

In this powerful first episode of our miniseries on disability and employment, host Lisa is joined by Samantha and Jamie-Lee—two vibrant women living with Friedreich’s Ataxia, who share their real-world experiences navigating the workforce.

From inclusive modelling and content creation to copywriting, they challenge outdated stereotypes and unpack the realities of workplace barriers. With honesty, humour, and heart, this episode explores self-employment, systemic bias, and the myth of “overcoming” disability.

Whether you’re an employer, ally, or job-seeker with a disability, this conversation offers vital insight into what real inclusion can, and should look like. You won’t want to miss it!
