'Advocacy makes me want to get out of bed every day'

Murrin's episode of HEnabled is out now! Listen on Sptify now by clicking here.

Episode info: Murrin is an EDI practictioner who specialises in sharing her lived experience as a person at the intersections of diability, race, gender, and sexuality. Her story is one that is less spoken about; Murrin left school at 16 and entered university via a Higher National Certificate (HNC) as a mature student, all while also managing multiple physical disabilities and undiagnosed neurodivergence. We also had a great time talking about accessibility for internships, eco-ableism, and Murrin's work as the former EDI officer at the Queen Margaret University Student Union. It's a great listen and I really reccommend checking it out wherever you get your podcasts :)

ID: A graphic with a green background and white text. It reads:

'New Episode Alert! // 18. Disability advocacy, accessible internships, and when institutions listen: Murrin's Story // Out now // Listen wherever you get your podcasts'. In the middle of the screen is the show logo and Spotify code.

Time to see what's going on in the world of HEnabled this week! Last Sunday, I had Martin on the show. We talked about his experiences as a mature student with dyslexia who has completed five master's degrees at elite institutions all over the UK. It's a fantastic episode, you can listen to it here

Looking forward to this weekend, my friend Katharine will have their episode coming out! Katharine and I chatted about their experiences as an archaeological researcher on autism in the Palaeolithic era as a person with autism. Their episode will be out this Sunday (22nd June) wherever you get your podcasts. Listen to the show now

Thanks all! <3

For this week's episode of HEnabled, I sat down with the wonderful Maddy to discuss their experience of Higher Education.

Maddy has been studying part-time for a BSc (Honours) in Computing & IT and Business at the Open University since 2019, after Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension forced them to change their life's trajectory. During Maddy's studies, they acquired an ADHD diagnosis, which deepened their understanding of themselves.

Maddy's story is the perfect example of an unconventional higher education journey. You can listen to it on Spotify via the link below, or wherever you get your podcasts!

A new episode of HEnabled is out! Listen on Spotify now by clicking here. Steph was on the show this week! They are a PhD researcher in the iGGi CDT programme and a games accessibility consultant. Steph talks about their struggles stemming from receiving no student support for Chrons during their BA, as well as how their neurodivergence impacted their symptoms while at university. Steph's PhD work in gamifying online studies is also discussed, alongside their freelance role in making video games more cognitively accessible for all. I hope that you find this week's episode interesting! ID: Steph taking a selfie. They are wearing a red shirt and a necklace. Steph is also wearing lipstick and has a septum piercing. There is a green frame around Steph's picture with a quote from their episode: 'It should not take a global crisis for people to listen and be sympathetic'. The HEnabled logo is in the bottom right corner.

'You should normally hear back in 30 days for the outcome of your complaint. It took them 114 working days and two caseworkers to provide me with an outcome.' 🙃

🎙️ HEnabled has its first birthday this week! Listen via the Linktree now: https://linktr.ee/henabled

🎂 Last night, I recorded HEnabled's first anniversary episode. It's only 15 minutes long and definitely worth a listen. Here's what to look forward to: - I finish telling my story that started one year ago. I look back on my experience navigating the university complaints process after narrowly missing the pass mark for my MPhil. Spoiler alert: it was WAY worse than you would expect! - The Patreon was announced, alongside a call for sponsorship. The link to join the Patreon is also in the Linktree above 👆 - I put out a call to action! 🗣️ Thank you so much for all of your support this past year. It has been a joy to bring my passion to you! I'll be back with regular content next week :) ID: Cath sat behind a microphone with headphones. They have just finished recording the episode. Their head is resting on their hand and they are smiling.

HEnabled turns one next week, and I can't wait to release a special episode to celebrate it!

In the meantime, there is always new content to listen to. Listen wherever you get your podcasts via the Linktree link here.

Out now:

Last Sunday's episode with Sophie was a pleasure to record. We spoke about parasports, wheelchair accessibility, and Sophie's work as the Director of Policy and Fundraising at Disabled Students UK. It's definitely worth a listen, which you can do now via the link above.

Releasing 26 October:

This weekend's episode is something a little bit different; HEnabled is turning one year old! It has been a year since I first shared my story as a disabled student to the world and what followed has been one of the pleasures of my life so far. Expect an update to my story (spoiler: it got worse), information about the show going forward, and a call to action for every listener out there. Have a great end to your week and I look forward to speaking to you all on Sunday! ID: White text on a green background reading 'This week on HEnabled'. Underneath there are two boxes.
