Hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest psychologist Dr. Jude Black discuss the painful social and emotional challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.

Proactive steps, like openly discussing one’s disability and engaging in difficult conversations, can help reduce stigma and promote understanding.

Small steps toward big change

Focus on consistent, achievable actions. This can build confidence, help dismantle internal barriers, and demonstrate capabilities to others.
