Isn't that so sad to hear someone say how on Earth is she attracted to him. I think both Shane and Hanna are both beautiful people inside and out. It's so sad that people make others feel less then because of a disability just blows my mind. I'm so happy for them and I wish nothing but the best for them. ❤️
It's because when those rude ppl say rude things about others it supposedly makes them feel like they are better than the ppl they are being rude about or saying rude thing to. I dont see how but that's suppose to be how it works. They cut others down to build themselves up.
There’s a lot more nuance to the situation. I myself am disabled, and I can recognize that having a disabled partner can be a lot for some people, and not everyone can handle it. Questioning an interabled doesn’t automatically imply that disabled people are less valuable.
Respectfully, Christina, millions and millions of men get shot down in flames by women, and are made to feel lesser, simply because they're shorter than 6', or bald ... things they have zero control over. A significant percentage of women won't even _consider_ a guy -- no matter how awesome he is -- simply because of height or baldness (or 50 other nit-picky things). So why the surprise about people's reaction to Hannah and Shane?
@@xyzct I'm not surprised by anything anyone says or does but, I do think it's very sad. There's much more to a person like a kind loving heart. Well I guess it's their loss. In my eyes I know I'm not perfect by any means so why would I judge another by that petty stuff. It bothers me that others judge others for anything and everything. But, like I said it's their loss.
Thanks for saying that especially if ur able bodied ❤
Find someone that looks at you the way Hannah and Shane look at each other. ❤
Shane looks at Hannah the way a man looks at his little sister
@@BlackBiggot Yup ! Lol!!!
Shane and Hannah found true love for one another! Congratulations you two on your TH-cam channel! God bless ✝️ you both!
Absolutely its love we should all be so blessed to have love
Shazam! 💕✌🏻
Amazing story. My mom was in a car accident in 1971 that left her paralyzed. She met and married my dad in 1977 and I was born in 1979. Spouses as caretakers is hard but it's so fulfilling. My dad was a Rockstar!
That was one of the better ways to spend an hour and a half. Wow, thank you! This talk was super illuminating. Also, when you said "When men want sex what they really want is emotional intimacy" a lot of light bulbs went off in my head. Being a disabled women, sex is this big scary thing for me. I worry that i'll stay single because this area is really hard for me to offer in the usual way. Someday I will find a man secure enough to be emotionally vulnerable and intimate with me to where what i'm able to offer is more than "enough". 🥰
Hi yogi hello from Florida positive vibes and super confidence heading your way
@@garyragsdale3 awww so cute ur kindness 🤗
U got this ❤️❤️
@disabledyogi
I do too. Thank you for sharing that here! I stayed away from dating because - and back to that word - I couldn't stand to be a burden. Sometimes lately I think Why did I assume all men would think that? Not give anyone a chance? Extra silly as one of my earliest heroes is a lady named Joni Earekson (I butchered her name, yikes). When she got married I was so encouraged. Joni broke her neck at 17 diving into a pond & became quadriplegic.
She learned to paint with her mouth! Really beautiful paintings. I love that her husband's name is "Tada". So I thought, ok, I'm not looking for Mr. Right, I'm looking for Mr Tada. (My friends thought that meant " Ta dah!", which I think works too. :0)
I said that very thing to my husband years ago ‘just listen to me, I don’t want you to fix it’. That was a real eye opener for him. He loves to talk and fix everything. He listens more now. Side note: we’ve been married 60+ years!
It's so simple, yet so hard. Congratulations on such a long, loving relationship!
Their relationship shows so strongly how who you are inside is more attractive than what we look like.
Thank you for sharing this
My Mom used to say, We are all just walking or rolling along in our Earth Suits". I don't remember the context now, but hearing that from my Mom - who has always been stunningly beautiful, and I don't think she knew it, which makes her even more beautiful! But having been in a very broken body for 30 years, I love that. We are who we are inside. And I believe I'll leave this thing behind one day.
An old friend (95 yrs) of mine said find someone with “common interests and complementary assets.” The have this in a HUGE way. Beautiful!
When Shane said he didn't feel like he would make for a valuable partner, my heart broke. I love these two so much. Thank you for doing this podcast with them!
It brings such joy that he has found a partner like this.
I like Shane but not Hannah .
As a physical disable man myself i recognized myself a lot in some of the things he was saying but i learn a lot from the couple perspective because it has been and it still is hard for people that i am in a intimate relationship with to know how to handle and me feeling uncomfortable with my condition . This episode has been a really helpful. Thank you Shane and his wife and you three Justin, Jamey and Liz you always approach your guests with so much respect, empathy and care . Good on you guys.
Thanks to ALL of you for doing this show. As someone who has invisible disabilities, along with many of my children, I struggle with feeling worthy of love and of value to my family. Also, due to the isolation due to these disabilities it has been difficult to find a supportive community. Thankfully, we now have connections virtually. Thanks again!
Thank you! So glad we could help you feel a bit more supported.
I am disabled and I love them They bring me joy each day
Everyone has a purpose can live your life in a box.

I've been watching Shane & Hannah for a few years. Great interview. So many good points. One thing that stuck out for me was when Shane talked about his burden complex. I have Spina Bifida, so I have been disabled since birth. I have struggled with the same feelings of not being worthy of relationship, or not wanting to be a burden to a potential partner.
Thier fake !
@@chillitaco8429 source instead of being a hater?
@@chillitaco8429 sounds like you have a little jealousy going on over there.
@@chillitaco8429 Shane is definitely not fake.
@@chillitaco8429 How have you come to this conclusion?
A real man/husband show’s kindness,love,good listener, conversations together total communication I see this in you two. Love you guy’s ❤️
Thier fake .
Exactly!
!!SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE!!
THE BURCAWS ARE HILARIOUS AND INTELLIGENT AND KIND
What a great show. I love them so much. I learned alot too about myself and my emotional uncomfortableness in this discussion. Also, I gotta say, when we think of one aspect of masculinity being about protectiveness and how Shane's disability meant he couldnt protect Hannah, he did in fact protect Hannah and did it rapidly, when Justin asked about sex he said that he likes to keep some things private. So, once again he did it emotionally with words, by setting boundaries.
Yess thats so true. He actually does that alot in many ways. I never really thought of it that way but your totally right
Great point!!!
Shane is just an all around intelligent and caring guy.
He definitely protects her heart. ❤
I'm one of Shane & Hannah's subscribers so of course I watched this for them but I'm subscribing to your channel because of you three! What sweet people you all are. My husband & I are both disAbled but we were still doing pretty well when we met. He actually went online & researched my disease, he was not the first one either, and knowing that what I have is terminal & only going to get worse, he felt I was worth it. His issues took the lives of two of my siblings, that was hard for me to know but he's worth it & we have been together 24/7 since our 3rd date, 12 years ago! I never get tired of him & vice versa. We have our own interests & social circles online so it gives us plenty of free time & together time. TOTALLY open communication is absolutely key. We talked out the good, bad, & ugly before our first date. No secrets to come to life no questioning how the other feels about anything. We are to each other the best friends ever, love of each other's lives & we've both been married long term & raised families. I never worry that I am enough even though I can't do everything for every body anymore. I might be afraid of dying too Shane, but I know people will all remember me for being strong, stubborn, & a fighter. You too!
Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your journey. So happy you found your husband.
I saw my husband in person for the first time at the Philadelphia airport as well. I was late to pick him up also. Lol. That moment is burned into my mind though. I was 17 when we met, and I was disabled at 19 after an accident. My husband stood by me, like it was never a question. I always related a lot to your love story, Hannah and Shane. Unfortunately, my husband passed away unexpectedly in April of this year. I'm 39 now, and I don't know how to move forward.
Thank you for sharing. Sending you love as you work through the grief. That's a difficult journey.
I'm so sorry for your loss My heart goes out to you. I hope you are doing ok. 🙏❤️
Love is not a burden. Thank you. I've felt like a terrible burden, especially lately, my Mom was my caregiver, then we were shocked, then... I have no words for the next feeling. She was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. So now my 84 year old Dad - dealing with an almost completely U shaped spine, & pain I will not pretend to know - is caring for both of us.
My very able bodied brother moved back to our town, I so hoped to help. But he just ... couldn't. He is an angry guy. All the privilege in the world, & he just hates. He loves to tell me & the Internet that it's my fault my parents don't have things, & that's hard to deny. Until I saw that line.
Thank you, sorry, all a cry baby now. Thank you for sharing your story, for living out love. Love isn't just a feeling, it's definitely actions. ❤
Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. The team is sending you lots of love!
Shane and Hannah used to live in my town and I regret that I never met them, or had the opportunity to buy Shane a beer. I love their podcast/channel. What a great couple!
We agree! Maybe you'll get that chance someday.
Wow this is an amazing show. I’ve been following Shane and Hannah for only a few weeks, and I clicked very quickly on this podcast. It did not disappoint!
Yay, yes! I have no idea how they showed up in my TH-cam rec's or whatever it's called. So glad they did though!!
I loved the interview and Shane's & Hannah's relationship, and their honesty. The panel was great! I have SMA as well so I can definitely relate to the prejudice and injustice that those of us who have a disability deal with daily. I love their openness and the courage they share regardless of what ignorant people may think! Much love to you, Justin who first introduced the world to Shane/ disability community! (Smile)
Thank you so much! It was so much fun to reunite Justin and Shane.
Im just curious, was this your first time being introduced to Shane and Hannah?
( I have been a huge fan of theirs for years and was just wondering)..
If they are new to you I highly suggest catching up on their older videos on their channel ( Squirmy and Grubs), they are amazing!
@@sanniwartinen3595No, but it was the best thorough interview (in my opinion) and yes, I am aware of their channel, and I enjoy a lot! But thank you so much
@@sanniwartinen3595
I 100% agree, they are an excellent example of a partnership.
I swear their sexual relationship sounds better than that of many both able bodied couples I know. They just have a beautiful, true love for each other. And the talk about emotional intimacy is so on point. (Once again, sorry for so many comments but this interview really brought up a lot that needs mentioning.)
OMG thank you guys for bringing this beautiful souls Shane and Hannah on the show. Thanks for teaching us alot with your life experience and perception. Appreciate xx
The Man Enough Matchmaker! I love it! I'm a big fan of Shane and Hannah, and have followed them for quite a while. I am disabled and have a beautiful husband who really is the love beneath my wings. We're not only life partners, but parents to four amazing kids and grandparents to 3 beautiful, healthy grandchildren. You get out of life what you put into it, and where there is love, there is a way❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your experience, and so happy that you've found a partnership like that. Glad you're here with us.
Excellent! I love Shane and Hannah's TH-cam videos and this show delved so deeply into who they are. Wonderful and encouraging to hear. Thank you!
Shane and Hannah demonstrate the qualities that develop and are intricate to maintaining a healthy realationship. I feel blessed to use those qualities in all my relationships, not just with a partner. Thanks for teaching this old girl new tricks!
Yeah thier scam works very well .
@@chillitaco8429 it's really sad to me that you cannot see beauty where it exists. I hope you can eventually
@chillitaco8429 did you take your medication?
Fantastic conversation among the five of you. Incredible!! Sooo intelligent.
You know, I've been following you guys for mobths .. and without a doubt this is my very favourite interview. I am incredibly grateful to the interviewers for being willing to dig deep and ask the really deep questions, while being so respectful of Hannah and Shane, not afraid to be completely honest and straightforward.
Hannah and Shane you guys really blow my mind.. I'm used to you joking around a lot and still addressing issues but you really laid your selves bare during this interview, you really were incredibly transparent. So much about what you say applies to people in relationship whether they're interabled or not.
I love Shane and Hannah. This is the most serious I've seen them. Usually Shane's full of jokes and cant stop. Lol.
AMEN Everything said by any of you is completely excellent and honest, seeming at least. What a GREAT interview. Thank you all for your time and efforts.
I've been following their story since day 1 on TH-cam. I love their love. They've opened my eyes to the world of abelism, and how our world isn't built for the Shane's out there. Great interview, thanks guys!
The end of that conversation literally made me cry when all of you were thanking them… 😢full of gratitude!!!
Wooooowwww guys, just wooooowwww! One of the best episodes ever! So touching, deep, honest… Thank you for sharing all this beauty, humanity at its best, knowledge and kindness.
Lots of love to all of you guys! ❤️🫂😀😘🥰❤️
To be disabled I had to lean into my vulnerability! Understanding that there are things I can't do but I need lean into how my character as a human has grown because of my disabilities. Justin and Shane you are men that I deeply love! I love you both for being who you are.
Congratulaciones to the five of you for this magnificent conversation. Hannah y Shane are beautiful.
I have been following Shane since Justin’s documentary 9 years ago and I just love his journey and Hannah is just perfect for him. I’m so happy for them and this podcast was so perfectly articulated and put together.
I just loooove these two!!! They have an amazing connection ❤
looking forward to this show, Ive followed Hannah and Shane for years.
I wish our society and our world operated through the same lens of Shane and Hannah’s love. So incredibly inspiring and beautiful - in the TRUE sense of what “beautiful” deeply means. 🙏🏽❤️
By far one of the BEST interviews I’ve seen with Shane and Hannah!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So happy to hear that it resonated with you.
Been following them for a while....
I'm also in an interable relationship, with my husband as my caregiver..... I can relate with them in many levels....
Thier fake!
Can you relate to their lavish lifestyle and million dollar mansion?
@@sammiech9602 their lifestyle is lavish? I missed that part
@@chillitaco8429 if you're gunna spam at least spell correctly.
@@sammiech9602 you mean his parent's house that they earned? Its cheaper to live under one house as disability gives crap and keeps you in poverty. What is wrong with making life easier for themselves? What part of their lifestyle is lavish?
The maturity of the relationship the 2 of you share... is beyond its years
This is a great show! First time watching. The hosts are really good, and thoughtful. They ask great questions and really listen to the answers. Love the Burcaws! 💗
Thank you so much! We're so glad you're here.
First of all to everyone involved in this podcast & it's message BRAVO! My husband has been mentally ill for years and physically ill for at least 6 months now. He deals with so many issues that affect how he views himself that are caused by 'the standard' or 'what a man should be or be able to do', I can't wait to share this with him.
And as for Shane & Hannah, I love them both so much & have supported them for years, so thanks to that I found your channel. There are so many people who give them negative comments that could learn so much from them if they would just open their minds up. So all in all, I just really enjoyed this for several different reasons!
Love Shane and Hannah...they teach me so much and help me become more aware
Love Shane and Hannah, followed them for so long and as someone who has disabilities with an 'abled' husband, they show the normality of life as a couple. Love their humour,their honesty and their ability to brighten my day!
What a great discussion and perspective. My husband and I are not interabled. He is a healthy big strapping man. But that being said he was not raised like the topical mannly man ideal. He can't build or fix things or work the land. But he is a wonderful man, amazing father and husband, and my safe place. For so long I would hold that typical ideal of what a man 'should' be and it would cause issues.
In the recent years I have finally come to the conclusion that we each bring our own strengths to the table. And truly that is why it works. He is good at yard work, and making sure our tanks are filled, and vacuuming, and getting the groceries and working hard at his job and so many things. I am the builder and fixer of things and the emotional guide and so many other things. So some of the gender roles are not as they 'should' be, but for us it's what works and makes our household function best.
We need to stop 'shoulding' all over everyone and thing.
Also, love watching all Shane and Hannah's episodes and love to see them normalize the interabled couple. They are so natural with each other and prove that it's not a gender thing or an abled thing, it's a personal strength thing and working as a true partnership to make the relationship work. That looks different for every couple and should not come from a society mold.
Man! The part about how Hannah wasn't a natural care giver hit home big time. She and Shane fell for each other regardless of all their differences. This reminds me again of me and my husband... I always tell him that when we met I literally felt this electric felling in my body. I just knew he was my person. We fell hard for each other within weeks of being friends. And when we started dating a year later all our thoughts came out and turns out he had felt the same as me the whole time. I was the girl who never wanted to get married, never wanted kids, never wanted that society driven typical life, but once he came into my life everything changed. Not to say we have the typical societal roles but we did get married and gave a kid and are happy just being.
Thank you so much for sharing! This is why we need to have more of these conversations and normalize people being who they naturally are. There's so much joy and fulfillment to be found by finding partnerships and lifestyles that let each person flourish in their own authentic way.
I have been watching Shane and Hanna for years. Now I've got a new podcast to listen to!
Welcome! We're so glad you're here. We love them too and were so happy to reunite Shane and Justin after a few years.
A coworker told me to watch these two when covid hit round 2 in Hawai'i and got super bad again because I work in Healthcare and I was not going to go anywhere but home and work for a while. It's inspiring two not watch them for the dynamic of abled and disabled but just as people!!! I find it so rare when two people are clearly just that other person's ride or die, and that's what I love about this. They give me hope for love. I am disgusted by the comments they said they got. How disturbed and insecure in that person leaving the comments but be in their own being to leave such hate. I hope they find peace. 🙏 also love how Justin said he's being careful with hooking Liz up to anyone because she's like a diamond. She is. I love everyone's role in the conversation in this episode. And every episode, quite frankly! 🌺💜💙💚
Sending positive vibes to Hawaii I remember 20 years ago surfing the north shore aloha from space coast Florida
This couple are new to me. I just watched Shane, Live Life To The Fullest. What a way to start my day. Thank you so much.
Thier fake no marriage license records I've checked ect Nothing.
I have followed Hannah and Shane from the beginning. I have now subscribed to this podcast. I think all three of you are amazing people. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Welcome!
I think I've watched this video a number of times. I love it!
I have attention span of a gnat so the fact it only tookme 2 sittings to watch this says something! I love squirmy and grubs so much!! I caretake for my husband and I learn so much from them...they have taught me to find the joy in helping my partner and they have taught me how to have the more difficult conversations. I LOVE THEM!!!
What I’ve seen with Shane and Hannah is pure love ❤️. The way she looks at him says it all. They laugh together so much. 😊 They’re awesome.
Beautiful inspiration. Thank you.❣❣❣
I love watching the podcasts, I am a disabled woman who never thought anyone would want me, my amazing husband is my rock, looks past my disability and 46 years later he is the best part
of me
this was phenominal!! So much good info for ALL couples. Excellent job!
Thank you!
Hi! I’m so happy for you both, and can see true Love for each other. God love Us all, and truly see you both are so kind. Thank you so much. Love you both, and wishing you the best always. Thank you for sharing. I only wish people would keep negative words to themselves that are hurtful 😢
I’m 75yrs Old, and years working in Human Services, and on the Volunteer Committee for Special Olympics Connecticut for years, and worked in group homes for years. Please remember to be Kind. Thank you. Amen 🙏.
This was a phenomenal podcast. Thank you for having Shane and Hannah as guests and everything that you all spoke about. I have no words. Beautiful.
Thank you! So glad you're here.
Thanks for bringing a differently abled human being to your show. My sister is also like that. Many in my family thinks she doesn't have wishes like every normal human beings in terms of relationship and love. I have enrolled into a dating site for differently disabled people.
absolutely brilliant all around, thank you! really love what's being discussed around 29/30 minutes in.
Thank you!
To all the brain dead people that could say what is wrong with Hannah that she could love Shane. You should be studying her like the most important book in the world and saying what is right with her that I need to learn so I can be the best addition to the human race that I can be. Shane and Hannah have something worked out in each of them that is allowing them to be the best examples of what humanity is supposed to be. We all have something to learn from each of them.
Well said. Thank you for your support of this beautiful relationship. We would encourage you to avoid using language like "brain dead", as it's not necessary or respectful. We wouldn't want your valuable perspective to get lost by alienating the people that it needs to reach.
@@WeAreManEnough that's a good point about reaching the people it needs to. I should have taken some time before writing, but I responded while emotion was high, while watching the video.
Thank you for having them on ✨they have reached a level few people attain. Their relationship gives me hope for my children and for myself.❤❤
Couldn't adore these two more!!!
Interesting conversation. At the end of the episode the conversation was interesting too. Thank you.
This was such a great Podcast. It is so easy to compare each others lives when you all speak so well about feelings. I have been suffering from similar feelings as Shane in regards to feeling like a burden. I am in an able-bodied relationship, and it sucks to feel that way. So glad you found Hanna, who has helped you begin to think differently! Love watching you both! Just subscribed to The Man Enough Podcast. Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you found us. Welcome.
Overwhelmed that's for sure
I love this video. This couple is the epitome of what a loving/healthy relationship should be. My husband and I of 26 years are finding ourselves in a similar situation. I've recently found out that I am going blind and although we are starting to see more and more that I'm getting dependent on him, obviously we are not to the level of this couple. I really hope that we can learn to our caregiving as well as Shane and Hannah.
Thank you for listening and sharing your story 🧡
Great episode. Very refreshing!
Love this podcast! I've followed the lovely Hannah and Shane since they started TH-cam. They're wonderful human beings and I think they have and will continue to teach the world about real love!
I worked as an ICU/ER LPN nurse for years. I was diagnosed with SLE-lupus at 27, have 4 children, 2 are adopted. I have been happily married for 42 years. My husband still makes my butterflies rise when he enters a room. I wish for all to have the love my husband and I have.
Justin, get busy finding that certain someone for Liz! All the best to you all and your families!
Thank you!
What an intricate, intriguing, intimate show this has been. I surely learned a lot from watching and let me just say that I watch their pod cast a lot. These two humans were born to be together. They are both such beautiful souls. Thank you for asking some of the most amazing questions in a very graceful yet Frank way to them. Their answers were from their hearts and were honest and sometimes they had fun answers! I love the way they “get” each other. They’re truly lovely people. Again, thanks for having their backs and an awesome pod cast of your own. ❤️
I came here as a subscriber (and fan) of Shane and Hannah. I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast and am looking forward to watching some of your other offerings. Thank you for sharing a quality experience.
This interview was SO Enlightening, Amazing and Beautiful! I NEEDED to hear and watch and listen and laugh and even Cry with ALL of You! WOW! Love, Love, Love this Podcast-I’m hooked💯❤️
Thank you! So glad this connected with you.
I didn't know that I needed this this morning ❤❤❤
Liz’s comment hit the nail on the head with respect to why I enjoy and in many ways look up to Shane and Hannah’s relationship. It has nothing to do with the inter-abled nature, more so their ability to communicate, laugh, and tackle the world as a team. Sadly, it makes me feel “not enough” when watching their videos as I struggle to make sure I am the best partner, not “man”, I can be, and I am the guy who mows the lawn, is the breadwinner, etc, all the traditional “manly” activities one does in a relationship.
Thank you for sharing so honestly. You are enough, especially since you're recognizing this and striving to be a better partner.
I absolutely loved this. Thank you so much. I see so much of God and Hannah and Shane they are beautiful people. Also Shane is an ENFJ and Hannah is an infp on the mbti. He is a natural encourager and she is a natural caretaker of all things including nature animals plants birds and humans so even though she didn't recognize that about herself it's tucked inside her personality which makes them a match made in heaven❤
thank you for sharing this! What a greAt interview. Brought up sweet memories for me, having worked with a paraplegic man who was married. It was great to hear each of the interviewers. Thank you.
Can’t wait to watch this again to pick up on stuff I missed the first time around!!
Great, let us know what you think.
Hannah you are such a mature and wise woman who knows what you needed in a real loving relationship. Shane honor and cherish your gift from God. You are a blessed man.
Thank you! Glad you're here with us.
I LOVED "Jane the Virgin"!! You were AWESOME in it!! Thanks for making great shows!
This vlog was amazing. This was my first time watching you'll.I love watching Hannah and Shame. They keep me laughing. I love Shane's attitude. I watch all of their vlogs.
What an amazing podcast!! Beautiful, we have so much to learned as a society, and respect one another. We need to learn to communicate more emotionally. We need to learn to connect emotionally with one another. Shane and Hanna praises to both of you and many blessings to come.
ABSOLUTELY MY FAV EPISODE OF MEP! For SO long I have not been drawn to (& hardly even interested in!) being in a “romantic” relationship until watching/experiencing this episode. “Mind & emotion” blowIng & drawing! Wow. This blew up so much for me. Thank you Shane & Hannah & J & L & J.
This was the best TH-cam video I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing all of this. It puts life into perspective on what we need… Even the able-bodied. I have been married twice and engaged a couple times and I have yet to have such a loving relationship… You are so blessed

Thank you! We're so glad you're here with us.
Wow! Justin you just know who to bring into the "Man Enough Family" to open up the "Waterworks"❤. Once again it is Society that somehow taught us that people being disabled and especially as an extreme disability like Shane has doesn't qualify them to be in a relationship with someone who is fully able.Like Hannah says so many people question her and basically tell her she is crazy to be married to Shane🤦♀️Yet there are people in normal physical relationships in this world that are so broken emotionally that their Souls are disabled.
Shane is such an inspiration to the world yet he also openly talks about his struggles and how hard it was to get where he is.Attracting such a Beautiful, Intelligent Woman like Hannah as a friend and then falling in Love is amazing.And the way they both have navigated their way through all of the Emotions they had to face to extend way past Caregiving. We easily forget that in every normal health relationship/marriage, Caregiving happens all the time its just different.Like Jamie said when his wife in the first few months of their marriage had to take care of him which was sometimes embarrassing. I also had to do all those unspoken tasks for my husband when he had a triple bypass and then when he had a Spine op.He also just a week ago suffered a mild stroke and I had to clean him up before the paramedics arrived to take him to hospital. And on Saturday past we celebrated our 45th Anniversary an it was still embarrassing for him to have me do those things..
Shans and Hannah like Justin says you are More than Enough..❤❤❤✨✨✨
If only more disabled people can find their purpose in life and even through all the challenges they face rise above the disability and proof that they are humans with the same " ❤...Strong Muscle " like every other "Abled" person has.🙏❤✨
In the old days they would say well said 😎 positive healing and happy energy being sent your way and to your family

Such a great episode! I love your show, and love your awesome team! I follow Squirmy & Grubs and absolutely love them as well! Great interview. Thanks for the fantastic content! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🕊❤️
What a great conversation! I was picturing y'all sitting in a living room having this same natural conversation as good friends. PS: I Love Shane and Hannah, been following them on TH-cam for over a year
Hello from faraway Austria. Wow. This was amazing. Listening to this podcast was a revelation for me.
And I don't only mean Hannah and Shane, but most of all you 3 interviewers. I loved the way you conducted this interview. Loved your sophisticated authentic humourous frank talk. Loved it!!
I've been following the Burcaws for a while and I admire and envy them for their strength, dry humour, courage to be so open , their resilience to hate postings.
2 weeks ago here in Austria a general practicioner, having spoken out critically about people denying the existence of the pandemic, tragically ended her life at age 36, because she couldn't cope anymore with the amount of hate, hatemail and death threats from antivaxxers and conspiracy theorists and the lack of support from authorities. It is this latter that sparked a bitter argument between a close friend and me. To his mind the doctor herself was to blame because she chose to a) speak publicly about a delicate matter and b) kill herself, no one told her to do that. I still cannot put my head around this. This chosen ignorance and wilful denying of mental suffering. And there are many Austrians who think along the same line.
I don't know if she was suffering from a temporary or permanent mental disease, but a lot of people are. And are not taken seriously in their disability to cope with certain aspects of life or life itself.
I have known depression for a looong time and I still catch myself having to explain to close friends why I am not like "millions other single full-time working parents" who "go through the same" and "keep their shit together" apparently way better than me. It is because often I am simply overwhelmed by life and don't have the mental strength to perform more than the daily chores. It is NOT because I'm weak-minded, lazy or stupid.
Mental illnesses are a kind of disability as well. And those need to be addressed as such. And represented in daily life. In TH-cam Channels. Movies. TV ads. We need more anchors that talk about their panic attacks. Couples who talk about how they cope with one of them suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
We need to dissect and dismantle the so-called 'normalcy' and the norms that we derive from the abstract state of this normalcy and look at life itself as it is. Acknowledge the many and manifold ways that lifes can be led and love can be found. If we cast away preformed concepts and have the courage to take an unbiased look at reality, allow ourselves to feel instead of judging, THEN we will truly be able to be Man or Woman Enough. That's all we need really. And maybe sometime in the future more people like me will be able to make fun of their mental illness and laugh at their nightmare 😊
Thank you so much for sharing. Sending love.
So many things that can be said here. My biggest take away is that there is many nuances in the realm of man and women loving and connecting outside of the normal biosocial norms. Though the biosocial norms, tendencies and expectations are very real and come from an organic animalistic place...the way our personalities and psyches can provide joy and safety for each other knows no bounds.
Where the body is limited the spirit flourishes
Absolutely fabulous. What an amazing couple that makes me see the world in a ways I would not have thought about. Gives a new meaning and definition to the word and meaning of true love
Play perpetual victims become millionaires
We agree!
What an amazing and incredible power couple. Loved watching this video.
Just finally having time to watch this. Man Enough - great work! I look forward to learning more about your show. Shane and Hannah - I’ve been a follower for a few years now. Love your channel! Even with as long as I’ve watched you two and the hours I’ve had to get familiar with Shane’s accent and speech patterns, I totally heard, “My brother… had to help me drag down this filly.” And if you can’t even guess what I was hearing, it was “My brother had to drive me down to Philly.” Had to go back and figure out what you actually said. You two have always give me a good laugh - and now I’ve upped it on my own. Sending you both love and laughter.
So glad you've joined us! Glad you enjoyed the episode.
I loved ur documentary on Shane and how cute how Hannah found Shane thru that. How awesome
Thank you!
@@WeAreManEnough no thank u. If it weren't for u we wouldn't know them 😉
