Let’s talk about internalized ableism. What a topic. There’s so much to say about it. I was inspired to write this post by something I saw on Instagram, saying something like, ableism is a mindset. I was intrigued by that. To me, internalized ableism is this idea of ableism turned inward, meaning, when a disabled… Continue reading Feelings Are Not Facts

Let’s Talk Confidence
I’ve been meaning to write about this topic for a while. I just had a difficult time figuring out what I wanted to say about it. Confidence is big, I think, in every facet of life.
