.Today we chat with Karni Lidell.

Karni was born with a muscle wasting disease, but this hasn’t stopped her living life to the fullest.

Karni is a powerhouse of knowledge around the rights of people with disabilities. She has been a para-olympian, twice, and is a highly regarded human rights activist.

She has her Masters of Social Work, and works within the Domestic Violence space. She is a sought after speaker and is passionate about giving those without a voice a megaphone.

Karni never takes herself seriously and loves a good laugh, although she is constantly in pain. She fights hard for other people’s rights, but also has her own day to day struggles.

She is honest and raw in today’s podcast. She discusses her own mental health challenges, how she deals with daily discrimination and how exhausting being an activist is.
