We Don't Need to be Fixed

There’s been so much buzz going on in the spoonie world! There is truly nothing that compares to being acknowledged and validated for the countless hours spent working towards something you’re passionate about. While I am grateful for the praise, people have been quick to label me as an inspiration. In this episode, I question this notion of being an inspiration–and why that doesn’t sit well with me.

We’re talking about:

• Challenging the “inspirational” lens given to those living with a chronic illness by those who are able-bodied

• The stigmas around living with a chronic illness and the impact it

• A more in-depth view of my story

• Being transparent about our health journeys in the work environment
