What does it take to write a story that not only grips its readers but also sparks empathy and resilience? Join us as we unravel this mystery with the talented author and speaker, Carol Van Den Hende. Carol's Goodbye Orchid series has woven these themes into a compelling tale shaped by her personal experiences raising a son with special needs. She shares the transformative journeys of Orchid Page, living with PTSD, and Phoenix Walker, recuperating from a life-changing accident, reminding us of the power of literature as a mirror of humanity's struggles and triumphs.
We also take a fascinating detour into the realm of science and technology, as presented in Carol's series. Hear about the intricate details of Phoenix's varying prosthetic needs, and Carol's poignant perspective on how the lack of insurance coverage for expensive prosthetics can be a socio-economic barrier. We discuss why it's crucial to mainstream assistive tech for a more inclusive society. Additionally, we touch upon a critical topic - how empathy and prejudice are shaped during childhood, and the role adults play in molding these attitudes. Concluding with Carol's valuable insights about writing, diverse representation, and her drive to inspire hope through her work, this episode is a treasure trove of emotional intelligence, technological innovation, and the power of storytelling.
