Accessibly Ever After is a beauty and lifestyle podcast reimagining makeup, skincare, and cosmetic design through an accessibility-first lens. Created by disabled creators and accessibility advocates, Ashton McGrady & Kailey Waskall, this show exists because too many beauty products still aren’t designed for real bodies, real hands, or real lived experiences. We’re here to change that.

Each week, we review makeup and skincare products, break down what makes packaging accessible (or inaccessible), celebrate thoughtful design wins, and share practical ways to adapt beauty routines for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent makeup lovers. From easy-open packaging and grip-friendly tools to formulation, usability, and inclusive design, we go beyond trends to talk about what actually works.

Once a month, we release a minisode featuring guests from the beauty industry, accessibility experts, and individuals who creatively adapt products and routines to fit their unique needs.

Our community helps guide the conversation. Follow us on Instagram @AccessiblyEverAfter to submit questions, share accessibility wins or frustrations, and help shape future episodes. All products and resources mentioned are linked in the show notes.

  • Am I Disabled Enough? & Other Unnecessary Existential Crises
    Oct 21 2026

    Disability imposter syndrome, beauty launches, and finding your perfect shower chair? We’ve got a LOT to talk about.

    Kailey and Ashton are back with an honest check-in about illness, doomscrolling, and the all-too-familiar feeling of wondering whether you’re “disabled enough.” They unpack what it can feel like to navigate disability spaces online, why some disabilities seem more recognizable or “palatable” than others, and how we can make room for different experiences and support needs without questioning our own.

    Then it’s time to talk beauty, because the industry has been BUSY. From About Face Glow Orbs and ACOTAR x Fine'ry fragrances to Sulwhasoo’s ginseng mask, Phlur’s Heavy Cream perfume, the unexpected Buldak x Glow Recipe collab, BÉIS x Rare Beauty, and Danessa Myricks’ Lightwork 8 palette, Kailey and Ashton are breaking down the latest launches through an accessibility lens. Which packaging gets a gold star for thoughtful design? And which products leave them asking a few questions?

    Ashton and Kailey tackle a question that can make a HUGE difference in everyday life: how do you choose the right shower chair? From transfer benches to backless stools and chairs with backs, they get into the things worth considering when finding an option that fits your needs. Because when it comes to accessibility, one size definitely does NOT fit all.

  • Crown Collective 👑: Sarah Todd H.
    Oct 14 2026

    In this episode, we're joined by Sarah Todd Hammer, a three-time published author, Davidson College graduate, and disability advocate and consultant who has built an audience of 300,000+ across her social platforms, for a conversation about accessible beauty, disability identity, and what real inclusion actually looks like. Sarah Todd shares her childhood diagnosis with acute flaccid myelitis, including the early misdiagnosis of transverse myelitis and the long road to understanding her condition, along with how dance, writing, and friendship helped shape who she became after her life changed overnight.

    We talk through what disabled grief and disabled joy mean when they exist side by side, and how Sarah Todd learned to live independently in college, from getting dressed to doing her own hair and makeup for the first time, all while founding Davidson's Disability Alliance.

    Sarah Todd walks us through her adaptive makeup routine, her favorite products, and the packaging details that make or break usability, plus the brands getting it right and the ones still falling short, from her work with Rare Beauty to her go-to, Tilt Beauty. We dig into why testing with disabled users matters, what more inclusive packaging could look like, and why one accessible product in a category isn't enough.

    She also opens up about navigating public advocacy, setting boundaries in her comment section, and why creators don't owe their audience every piece of their personal life.

  • Chin Straps & Spiders, Oh My!
    Oct 7 2026

    Season 3 is back, baby, and the beauty industry has been BUSY.

    Kailey and Ashton kick off Season 3 with a fall-break catch-up before diving headfirst into the beauty stories everyone has been talking about. From Kailey’s new school year and The Beauty Burrow to Ashton’s New York adventures and some very exciting creative wins, there’s plenty to catch up on before the real tea begins.

    This season premiere takes on eye patch gate, unpacking the Fenty, Glow Recipe, and Huda packaging frenzy and asking whether twist-dispense packaging could actually be an accessibility win. They also get into sustainability, beauty-brand copycats, and the Molly Sims YISE Beauty and Jones Road drama.

    And because apparently the beauty industry has decided we need a new product every five minutes, Kailey and Ashton are also getting into some of the latest beauty releases, sharing what caught their eye, what has them intrigued, and what has them saying, “Okay, but why and who asked for this???”
