In this podcast, come along as Caden (age 22) shares his experience with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a disability that causes muscles to continue to get weaker over time, requiring the use of a wheelchair full-time.

  During our time, we chat about his goals + dreams, and the importance of a supportive crew in everyone life – not just for those with disabilities.  Listen to how Caden finds the positive while facing challenges that come with having a disability. Also, learn how it took him a long time to accept my disability and how it wasn’t until he left his small-town high school and started college that he finally accepted himself for being…well….the ICONIC – and now advocate he has become.
