On the 10th Day of Podmas, Elisa sent to me… 🎧✨ Something for my fellow Grey’s Anatomy fans.
If you’ve been a longtime fan like I have, you’ll love this episode featuring Dr. Amelia Shepherd. The conversation comes from a podcast hosted by Sophia Bush, who plays Dr. Cass Beckman, the newest addition to the Grey’s cast and current love interest of Dr. Teddy Altman.
Life has a funny way of coming full circle. Both Caterina Scorsone and Sophia Bush once dreamed of becoming doctors, and now they’re bringing those roles to life on one of television’s most beloved shows.
While the episode does touch on Grey’s and the impact the show has had, what stood out most to me was Caterina’s advocacy for her daughter with Down syndrome and for people who are denied accommodations or inclusion because of their disabilities. Today’s soundbite is a meaningful part of that conversation.
When I was in college, I was part of a special needs cheerleading team, and those remain some of my favorite memories. People often told me how impactful it must have been for them, but the truth is, they changed me. I learned so much from being part of that team, and I’ll always advocate for disabilities to be included in the conversation.
See you tomorrow for Day 11. ✨ Comment “PODMAS” and I’ll send the episode straight to your DMs.
