Terminology 101: Disabled vs Differently-Abled
from Sit Down With Us · host Faith & Zara
Have you ever given a compliment that completely backfired? Or wondered what you "should" say when asking about someone's visible difference? In today’s episode, we sit down to unpack the everyday phrases, questions, and "well-meaning" comments that actually carry incredibly heavy emotional weight. From being called "brave" just for buying a latte, to the deeply frustrating "at least it's not cancer," we’re clearing the air on what it's really like navigating the world with alopecia and a physical disability. There's no official rulebook, but our golden rule is simple: read the room, and let the other person lead.SUPPORT THE SHOW: Faith is running a half-marathon this May for the Little Lady Locks fundraiser!
