Win Kelly Charles on Living With Cerebral Palsy
What’s it like to live with cerebral palsy? In this episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush talks with Win Kelly Charles about living and thriving with a disability.
Show Notes:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cerebral palsy (CP) “is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture.” But the definition doesn’t convey the full impact of the condition on a person’s life. In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., welcomes Win Kelly Charles, podcaster, author of I, Win and an educator and advocate who helps those with physical and mental health disabilities find their voice.
