May I... Choosing Joy and the Practical Application of the May I Concepts

Presented by Sunday Edition and Bold Blind Beauty

May 28, 2026

May I… The Comfort of Joy and the Practical Application of May I Concepts

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts in partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

Special Guest:

Gabriel Lopez Kafati

In this powerful and deeply reflective final installment of the May I conversation series, the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Bold Blind Beauty bring together the emotional and practical lessons explored throughout the series and ask one final question:

How do we actually carry these ideas into everyday life?

Over the course of this conversation series, we have explored mindfulness, emotional awareness, confidence, connection, healing, movement, survival, identity, and self trust. This concluding discussion focuses on how we continue applying those lessons in practical, sustainable, and emotionally healthy ways.

The first half of the conversation centers around harnessing joy. Not performative joy. Not forced positivity. Real joy. The small moments that ground us, restore us, nourish us, and help us continue forward even during overwhelming seasons of life.

Special guest Gabriel Lopez Kafati leads this portion of the discussion with reflections on sustainable joy, emotional grounding, and allowing ourselves moments of peace without guilt.

The second half of the the conversation turns toward practical emotional application. Anthony Corona introduces the concept of the emotional internal inventory while Steph of Bold Blind Beauty explores the idea of the internal white cane.

Together, the panel examines how intuition, emotional awareness, boundaries, gut feelings, tension, peace, exhaustion, excitement, and self trust all serve as navigation tools within our emotional environments just as a white cane helps navigate physical spaces.

Topics explored throughout the conversation include:

Harnessing joy during difficult times

Allowing ourselves peace without guilt

Balancing advocacy, caregiving, and emotional survival

Holding joy and pain simultaneously

Emotional awareness and pattern recognition

The emotional internal inventory

The internal white cane

Boundaries and emotional self trust

Recognizing intuition versus anxiety

Practical emotional check ins

Rest, healing, and sustainable self care

The conversation closes with a moving fill in the blank reflection exercise centered around the recurring phrase:

May I…

Listeners are encouraged to revisit all installments of the May I series through the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Bold Blind Beauty and continue these conversations within their own communities, friendships, workplaces, and personal lives.

May I.... Getting Out There

Presented in Partnership with Sunday Edition and Bold Blind Beauty

May 26, 2026

May I… Getting Out There

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts in partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

In conversation three of our four part May I series, we explore what it means to reconnect with the world around us while navigating disability, advocacy, emotional wellness, and the realities of accessibility.

Together we discuss the pause before opening the door, the emotional preparation behind everyday outings, and the balance between self care and isolation. We examine internal barriers such as anxiety, burnout, fear of embarrassment, trauma, and the exhaustion that can come from constantly advocating for ourselves.

We also tackle external barriers including inaccessible businesses and websites, transportation struggles, public assumptions, poor accommodation practices, and the difference between performative accessibility and true inclusion.

Most importantly, this conversation focuses on reclaiming joy. Recreation, friendship, movement, laughter, travel, hobbies, community spaces, and the simple act of participating in the world matter. Joy is not frivolous. Joy is part of survival.

This week we continue the conversation with our final installment, focusing on joy and the practical application of everything we have explored together so far. We will discuss how to remain open to the world while still protecting our mental health, emotional well being, boundaries, and sense of self as advocates and human beings.

Thank you for joining us for these honest, vulnerable, supportive, and judgment free conversations.

The Weight we Carry: A Reflection

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts

May 18, 2026

New Spoken Word Podcast Release

The Weight We Carry, The Love We Return

This week’s spoken word reflection is one of the most personal pieces I’ve shared in a long time.

It is about caregiving.About aging.About guide dogs and family.About emotional exhaustion.About boundaries.About losing people.About discovering who stays.About advocacy fatigue.About learning that love is not only found in celebration, but in the difficult seasons when we quietly carry one another through pain, change and uncertainty.

As my partner helps his family pack away a lifetime of memories and our retired guide dog queen Posh faces difficult health struggles here at home, I found myself reflecting on grief, responsibility, emotional labor, friendship, resilience and the complicated weight many of us carry silently every day.

This is not just an article anymore.It is now a spoken word conversation from the heart.

If you have ever felt emotionally stretched thin while still trying to show up for the people and communities you love, I think this one may speak to you.

May I... Boldly Beautiful, The Space Between

May 17, 2026

P

May I… Boldly Beautiful

The Space Between

Presented by the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts

In partnership with Bold Blind Beauty

recorded-Wednesday at 4 PM Eastern Part 1 is in the podcast thread...

Join us for a thoughtful, soul centered, and deeply human conversation as we continue the May I… series with a powerful new discussion exploring mindfulness, self awareness, emotional navigation, and the sacred pause between stimulus and response.

This special conversation will be led by Stephanae McCoy, founder of Bold Blind Beauty, and will invite us into what Bold Blind Beauty calls “The Space Between,” that quiet internal place where self awareness becomes our boldest compass.

Together we will explore questions like:

What does your internal space feel like when life becomes overwhelming.

How do we slow ourselves down in a world that constantly demands reaction.

Can mindfulness become a kind of white cane for the mind, helping us navigate emotional obstacles before we collide with them.

How do access, inclusion, and representation apply not only to the world around us, but also to the relationship we have with ourselves.

This conversation will gently explore emotional blind spots, self acceptance, internal vision, mindfulness practices, and the beauty that can exist inside the pause itself.

We will also discuss how accepting our blindness, whether physical, emotional, or metaphorical, can actually strengthen the way we move through the world with intention, compassion, and courage.

This is not a lecture.

It is a conversation.

A space for reflection.

A space for honesty.

A space for breath.

Whether you are blind, low vision, disabled, neurodivergent, navigating stress, burnout, grief, growth, or simply searching for a moment to reconnect with yourself, you are welcome here.

If you would like to join the conversation live, or if you have questions, thoughts, or comments you would like included in the discussion, please email:

[email protected]

Take a breath.

Pause for a moment.

And ask yourself:

May I…

Getting to Know Robyn and her series on Horizontal Hostility

Presented By the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts

May 11, 2026

Sunday Edition Presents

Getting to Know Robyn Bradley Wallen

And An Introduction to Her Conversations on Horizontal Hostility

Join us on the next Sunday Edition as Anthony Corona welcomes longtime advocate, transportation activist, and community voice Robyn Bradley Wallen for an honest, thoughtful, and deeply important conversation about disability advocacy, coalition building, and the difficult realities of what is known as “horizontal hostility” within marginalized communities.

Born with congenital cataracts and navigating a world built with barriers at every turn, Robyn transformed personal frustration into decades of impactful advocacy. From fighting inaccessible paratransit systems while working for TWA Airlines, to helping pave the way for rideshare access in St. Louis, to serving on transportation and accessibility commissions, Robyn’s work has centered on accountability, empowerment, and making sure disabled voices are not left behind.

Her advocacy journey has taken her through leadership roles with the National Federation of the Blind, the Missouri Council of the Blind, transportation committees, grassroots organizing, media interviews, op eds, lawsuits, and public policy conversations. Along the way, one difficult question kept surfacing:

Why do marginalized communities sometimes struggle to support one another?

That question led Robyn into a deep exploration of “horizontal hostility,” the tension, infighting, and division that can emerge within oppressed groups themselves. It is a conversation that resonates far beyond disability advocacy and one Robyn has been unpacking through powerful discussions on social media and in advocacy circles.

This Sunday’s episode is not about blame.

It is about honesty.

It is about growth.

It is about understanding how communities heal, fracture, rebuild, and move forward together.

Robyn will also be sharing details about her upcoming podcast joining the Sunday Edition family, where these advocacy conversations and many more will continue.

Sunday Edition airs live on 2020 The Beacon and Corona FM at 1 PM Eastern and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts the following day by searching for Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona.

Questions, comments, or to request the Zoom information to join the live conversation taping, please email:

[email protected]

Come for the conversation.

Stay for the humanity.

And maybe leave with a few things to think about long after the microphones fade. 🎙️✨

Take2Radio The Remix: A Conversation and a Surprise with Pete Montzingo

Presented By The Sunday Edition Family Of Podcasts

May 10, 2026

Take 2 Radio, the Remix

In Partnership with the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services

A Conversation and a Surprise with Pete Montzingo

Sometimes the internet gives us noise.

Sometimes it gives us distraction.

And sometimes it gives us somebody like Pete Montzingo.

Content creator.

Musician.

Storyteller.

Author.

Chaos gremlin with a giant heart and a camera rolling at just the right moment.

In this heartfelt, hilarious and surprisingly emotional episode of Take 2 Radio, the Remix, hosts Pam and Anthony sit down with viral creator and musician Pete Montzingo for a conversation about family, authenticity, creativity, ADHD, music, resilience and the beauty of embracing what makes us different.

Growing up as the only average height member in a family of five with dwarfism, Pete shares how humor, storytelling and persistence shaped his journey into entertainment. From failed early vlogs and boy band dreams to becoming a viral sensation during the pandemic, Pete reflects on the winding road that brought him to millions of followers and an audience that connects deeply with his honesty and vulnerability.

Pete also opens up about living with ADHD and the balancing act of navigating impulsivity, creativity, overstimulation and focus while building a career online. He speaks candidly about learning to work with his brain instead of constantly fighting against it.

The conversation dives into family dynamics, internet fame and the realities of sharing your personal life online. Pete discusses trolls, negativity and how humor and empathy have become some of his most powerful tools for surviving social media culture without losing himself in it.

We also talk about one of Pete’s proudest accomplishments, self publishing his children’s book:

Little Imperfections, A Tall Tale of Growing Up Different.

The book reflects Pete’s own experiences growing up surrounded by dwarfism and celebrates individuality, compassion and the reminder that our differences are often the very things that connect us.

But perhaps the most touching moment of the episode arrives when Pete reveals a very special Mother’s Day surprise.

Dropping today on Mother’s Day is his brand new song:

And the Room Goes Quiet for You.

Written as a tribute to his mother, the song celebrates beauty, strength, unconditional love and the quiet power of someone who becomes the emotional center of a family. Pete shares how nervous and excited he is for his mother to finally hear it, and throughout the conversation it becomes clear that while the song may honor his mom specifically, its message speaks to love in all its forms.

The episode closes with the song itself, creating one of the most moving endings we have experienced on Take 2 Radio, the Remix.

Join us for laughter, honesty, music, family stories and a reminder that imperfections are often where the real magic begins.
