As Season 1 of Beyond Beautiful comes to a close, Mandi invites listeners to rethink everything we’ve been taught about New Year’s resolutions.In this reflective season finale, Mandi explores what it means to approach resolutions through a disability justice lens—one that prioritizes care, access, and sustainability over hustle and self-erasure.

2025/12/07

The holidays aren’t joyful for everyone—and for many disabled people and caregivers, this season brings unique challenges that often go unseen. In this episode, we look beyond the glitter and celebration to talk honestly about access barriers, financial strain, family dynamics, ableism, and the emotional weight the season can carry.We also explore practical ways to create a more inclusive, compassionate holiday season—whether you’re disabled, a caregiver, an ally, or part of an organization planning

In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, we explore what poverty really is: a system created through the privatization and hoarding of resources God intended for everyone. Inspired by All Riches Come from Injustice by J. Stephen Morrison, I talk about how scripture calls out greed, gluttony, and stealing — and how hoarding wealth is actually taking more than our portion.As Christians, we often see charity as generosity. But through a justice lens, charity becomes something deeper: returning what was

2025/11/23

In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, we’re going beyond the call for “a seat at the table” to explore what it really means to redistribute power and resources. Instead of waiting for inclusion, disabled people and other marginalized communities have long been building our own spaces — spaces rooted in access, care, and collective power.Mandi highlights inspiring examples like The Axis Project, a gym created by and for people with disabilities, and Independent Living Centers across the country that

Burnout isn’t just exhaustion — it’s a weapon. In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, we explore how systems of oppression use burnout to silence marginalized communities and maintain the status quo.From convoluted government paperwork to the impossible maze of healthcare and benefits, we look at how bureaucracy keeps people too tired to fight back. We also talk about compassion fatigue — how even our care for others can be exploited — and what the story of The Giving Tree can teach us about
