In this inspiring episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland sits down with Caitlin Conner, founder of Be More Adaptive, to explore how she’s building a global hub for disability resources designed to empower people with disabilities to live fulfilling, confident, and sustainable lives.

✅ The mission and future of Be More Adaptive’s global resource platform
✅ How inclusive online communities create connection and safe spaces
✅ Why collaboration and resource sharing are vital for disability empowerment
✅ Caitlin’s continued advocacy in sports, fashion, and accessibility
