Golden Threads: Stories of Disability & Resilience is a podcast by Kintsugi Heroes that shares honest, lived-experience conversations with people navigating disability, identity, and resilience. Hosted by Daniel Dougherty, this series creates space for stories that are often overlooked — stories of adaptation, strength, and what it really means to live in a world still learning what inclusion looks like. Each episode explores the human experience behind disability — not as something to define a person, but as one part of a broader story shaped by courage, relationships, and everyday moments. Through these conversations, Golden Threads aims to build understanding, reduce stigma, and strengthen connection across communities. Because when stories are shared with honesty and dignity, they don’t just inform — they connect.
