Disability, the Outdoors & the Healing Power of Oregon with Alice Diehl

Episode 36 | Go Wildly Podcast

Identity is not limitation. Alice Diehl is proof.

Actress, puppeteer, advocate, and Ms. Wheelchair Oregon 2025 — Alice Diehl lives in Grants Pass and has spent her life redefining what's possible. We talk about disability accessibility, the overlap between disability and homelessness, disability history in the USA, theater arts and family legacy, her parents meeting in New Guinea, the healing power of Oregon rivers, nature as a spiritual awakening, claiming her femininity, puppetry, and how she wants to be remembered.
