Lizzie and Sam sit down with social media influencer, public speaker, and advocate Molly Burke. Molly joins the show from the Netherlands right after completing an impressive 762-kilometer cycling journey across Europe. She discusses her path from a bullied teenager dealing with sudden vision loss to becoming one of the first major disability content creators on YouTube, normalising disability in mainstream media, and navigating accessibility barriers.
