On this episode of Casa De Confidence, Julie welcomes disability advocate, author, and accessibility educator Jenna Udenberg, a 2020 Bush Fellow whose mission is improving accessibility where it matters most — in our everyday lives.

Diagnosed with juvenile arthritis at age 7 and a wheelchair user since age 8, Jenna shares her story of resilience, leadership, and activism. We explore what it means to live in a world designed without disability in mind, how the ADA impacts real accessibility, and why inclusion requires more than just checking compliance boxes.

We discuss:

• Self-advocacy from childhood to adulthood
• What businesses miss about true accessibility
• The concept of crip time and spoon theory
• Why disability is not a tragedy — but lack of access is
• Inclusive community design & supporting nonprofits like Above & Beyond With U

Jenna reminds us that disability is part of the human experience — and creating inclusive communities benefits all generations.

A powerful and inspiring conversation you won’t forget.

Jenna's organization, Above & Beyond With U (A&BWU), works intentionally to increase awareness, inclusive practices, accessibility, and belonging for anyone experiencing disability.

At Above & Beyond With U, we provide consulting, training, and resources to businesses and local community programs to increase awareness, inclusion, and accessibility for people with disabilities.

Our goals:

• To create and sustain partnerships with other practitioners, community organizations, and agencies for whole community growth and inclusion.
• Provide c

What happens when two women working behind the scenes in Hollywood decide they’re done watching perfectly good gourmet meals go in the trash?
They build a movement.

In today’s powerful conversation, I sit down with CNN Everyday Hero nominee Hillary Cohen and her powerhouse co-founder Samantha Liu, the founders of Everyday Action, a Los Angeles–based nonprofit rescuing untouched meals from film and TV sets and redirecting them to communities facing food insecurity.

These two women are the definition of scrappy, heart-driven leadership. Since launching in 2020, they’ve redistributed more than 270,000 meals across LA — all while training drivers, building a volunteer network, and operating their nonprofit like a well-oiled production set.

Together, we talk about the moment that sparked their work, the misconceptions about unhoused individuals, the emotional impact of giving with dignity, and how everyday people (yes, you and me) can be part of the solution.

If you’ve ever wondered how small actions can lead to massive impact, this episode will light you up.
