Uncomfortably Speaking
by Shelly
Changing minds. Challenging assumptions. Building belonging. Welcome to Uncomfortably Speaking, a podcast where I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery as I uncover, challenge, and heal from internalized ableism. Together, we’ll question the beliefs we’ve inherited, explore the stories we’ve been told about disability and worth, and discover new ways of seeing ourselves and one another. Through honest conversations, personal reflection, and a little courage, we’ll learn that healing doesn’t come from becoming someone else—it comes from embracing who we’ve always been. "The conversations people avoid are often the ones that matter most. Come along while we brave them with humor, quirkiness, and a whole lotta love!"
