This Is Why I Don’t Leave the House - Access, Anxiety & Invisible Barriers - Discovering Beauty Ep.6

For many people, leaving the house is automatic.For many people with disabilities, it’s anything but.In this episode of Discovering Beauty with Orbit Deen, I talk about the invisible emotional weight that comes with simply going out into the world as a wheelchair user. From strangers staring—or pretending you don’t exist—to unwanted touching and inaccessible spaces, every trip outside can become an unpredictable experience.This episode is about more than disability. It’s about vulnerability, dignity, independence, and the courage it takes to keep showing up in a world that isn’t always built for you.If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, judged, or different, I hope this conversation reminds you that you are not alone.Continue the conversation:• Subscribe on Substack for companion essays and behind-the-scenes reflections.• Follow the podcast for new episodes every week.• Like, comment, and share if this episode resonated with you.Discovering Beauty with Orbit Deen is a podcast about disability, creativity, resilience, music, storytelling, and finding beauty in unexpected places.#Disability #CerebralPalsy #WheelchairLife #DiscoveringBeauty #OrbitDeen This is a public episode.
