TAL S4 E1 Goals & Gratitude

Welcome back to The Advocacy Life Podcast and Vlog! We are kicking off 2026 with a brand new season of episodes, focusing on what truly matters: Gratitude and Goals!

Host Kevin Nunez is back after missing November and December (life happened, including a kitchen remodel and he's bringing quality over quantity by switching to two high-quality episodes a month.

In this episode, Kevin gets personal, sharing what he's deeply thankful for:

Family and Friends: A huge shout out to the family (Dad, Mom, Stepdad, etc.) who help set up the podcast equipment, and to friends—the initial reason he started podcasting.

Growth: Being thankful for the podcast evolving from sketchy cell phone recordings to a fully-developed show, and for hitting 200 subscribers on theadvocacylife.com alone!

Health Victories: Celebrating a major victory in 2025: the first year in about five years without any surgeries or major hospitalizations.

Small Connections: Sharing a major connection made at a state function that led to sending in a resume for a potential staff position with Governor-Elect Mikey Sherrill.

Then, he lays out his ambitious goals for 2026:

Writing: Finishing his third book, the conclusion to the Living Beyond Disability series, which focuses on Disability Policy 101 for self-advocates.

Personal Victory: Buying new clothes and new accessible Billy Shoes—a huge deal after losing weight and dealing with the constant battle of finding shoes that fit orthotics.

Social Life: The deeply personal goal of making a real, close friend to talk to more regularly.
