Episode 202: Part of the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Series (Part 20) Description: In this powerful episode, Naman Julka-Anderson and Jo McNamara sit down with Sarah Phillips. Sarah lives with two incurable conditions that shape her daily life. The first is a rare genetic neuromuscular disease caused by the absence of a gene needed to produce the myelin sheath, leaving her with an exceptionally unusual presentation even within a rare disorder. She also has a metabolic condition that causes her body to burn calories at an extreme rate, making it impossible to maintain weight without enteral nutrition and placing her at high risk of refeeding syndrome and related complications. Despite these challenges, she's committed to transforming her experiences into meaningful projects and businesses that support others living with chronic illness and disability. CPD Reflection Points: Reflect and consider how your assumptions about “ability,” productivity, or independence shape the way you interact with people living with disabilities or incurable conditions.
