Episode Notes for the Interview with Liel Bridgford

I am a Psychologist, writer, educator, and podcaster based in Naarm and who uses she/they pronouns. I am a proud disabled, immigrant, gender fluid femme, and my work is centered on inclusive, accessible and holistic support and education. I have been recognised as an ABC TOP 5 Arts resident, served as the 2022 Editor of Writing Place Magazine, and was a 2023 Melbourne Access and Inclusion Award finalist. I have facilitated presentations and workshops across Australia and internationally, and was published and featured widely.
In the past year, I founded Kultivate to advance wellbeing, equity, inclusion, and disability justice. Kultivate provides a space where disabled individuals can access mental health support and education delivered by professionals with lived experiences. By educating professionals, Kultivate improves the lives of disabled people globally. Kultivate’s mission is rooted in equity, community, mindfulness, and empowerment. My vision through Kultivate is to create an equitable and inclusive society where all disabled and multiply marginalised people thrive.
In the little free time I get, I enjoy singing along to the Frozen soundtrack with my kids and try to keep up with social media at @LielKBridgford.
