The Two Lists: A Dignity-First Script for Living with Invisible Limits

There are things we say to appear "fine" and things we quietly need to survive the day. In this 10-minute, inspirational monologue Dr. Disruptor guides listeners through a dignity-first exercise called The Two Lists: a Public List (how you present) and a Private List (what your body, brain, or caregiver life actually costs). Using a short personal story from Dr. Fishon and a clear, compassionate voice, the episode shows how to turn those lists into a single, one-line translation you can use in church, school, or work—without shame, long explanations, or fear of being judged "high maintenance." This episode offers concrete micro-scripts, a tiny ritual to store your one-line truth, and practical next steps for asking for accommodations. It meets listeners where they are: unseen, exhausted, and hungry for tools that protect dignity and create real connection.
