What does YOU CAN look like when life gives you every reason to believe you can't?

In this powerful episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison sits down with Carrie Mulderink, PhD, Ms. Wheelchair Illinois 2026, for an inspiring conversation about disability, determination, advocacy, purpose, and refusing to allow limitations to determine what's possible.

And the timing couldn't be more perfect!

This episode airs Monday, August 17, 2026, as Carrie begins an incredible week representing Illinois on the national stage at the Ms. Wheelchair America competition.

Carrie shares her personal journey, the realities of living with a disability, the obstacles she has encountered, and how those experiences have helped shape the woman and advocate she is today.

This isn't simply a conversation about overcoming.

It's a conversation about becoming.

It's about recognizing that your difference doesn't disqualify you from purpose. Your challenges don't erase your possibilities. And sometimes the very thing the world sees as a limitation becomes part of the platform God uses to make a difference.
