  • Living Independently With A Disability, Is It Possible?

    Living Independently With A Disability, Is It Possible?
    2025/04/18
    Living independently with a disability is a journey of empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery. It’s about breaking barriers, embracing your unique abilities, and thriving on your own terms. From mastering daily routines to navigating challenges with creativity and confidence, independence means redefining what’s possible. Whether it’s utilizing assistive technologies, building a supportive network, or simply celebrating small victories, living independently is a testament to strength and determination. It’s not just about living—it’s about living fully, boldly, and unapologetically.

    We’d love to hear your stories! Share your experiences of living independently in the comments below and inspire others on their journey.

  • You're Such An Inspiration.... Um, Okay?

    You're Such An Inspiration.... Um, Okay?
    2025/04/11
    This week we are discussing a few things. The main topic is about phrases like "you're such an inspiration" and how that can be a detriment for some people. This episode does NOT intend to discourage you from offering statements like "you're such an inspiration" as some do find it comforting to hear. Instead, what it does is help to guide the disabled person on ways to manage it if such phrases invoke a sense of upset or anger. This episode also touches on a few other points that can help the person manage these feelings such as - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins (not sponsored), some options you have for responses if you do take offense, how to disengage from such a conversation if necessary, clarifying that protecting yourself and your inner-peace is okay even if it's viewed as rude it's okay to be rude to protect inner-peace, and some tips for protecting yourself if you're not being allowed to disengage. We hope you enjoy the episode

    Let's Talk Ableism
    2024/08/30
    Let's learn a bit about ableism together. To put it very simply ableism is the belief that someone cannot or should not be able to do something simply because they are disabled. With this episode a bit about ableism is explained to hopefully shine a light on the issue and make the world a more tolerant and welcoming place to the disabled community :)
