Breaking Barriers: Phillip Bramwell on Cerebral Palsy, The "Disability Economy," and Self-Advocacy - Best Of
Description
In this transformative episode of Unmasking Humanity, Joshua T. Berglan connects with Phillip Bramwell, a disability advocate and coach who is redefining what it means to live with Cerebral Palsy. Phillip, a former child actor and model, shares his journey of navigating a world not built for him with resilience, wit, and an unshakeable belief in self-advocacy.
Phillip challenges the status quo of medical education, highlighting critical errors in how childhood disabilities are treated, and opens up about the often-overlooked "touch deficit" and loneliness within the disabled community. He also introduces the powerful concept of the "Disability Economy"—urging individuals to monetize their unique experiences to break the cycle of poverty. Whether you are living with a disability, love someone who is, or simply want to be a better ally, Phillip’s message of independence and empowerment is essential listening.
