264: Avoid the Scarcity Trap: How the Disability Community Can Thrive Together


Listen Later

Individuals with disabilities often encounter significant hurdles in accessing quality healthcare due to limited accessibility options and a scarcity of available services.

In this episode of Parenting Impossible, I address the challenges individuals with disabilities face in accessing quality healthcare, including limited services and barriers like Medicaid restrictions. I advocate for policy changes to enhance resources and emphasize the importance of building community to share experiences and solutions. By shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance, focusing on strengths, and setting personalized goals, individuals can better navigate these hurdles. I also highlight the value of education, online resources, and mindfulness in creating a supportive network that fosters growth and advocacy.

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Why advocating for policy changes is crucial to increase accessibility and support.

  • How to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset when setting goals.

  • The importance of individualized planning for individuals with disabilities.

  • Why building a community is important in supporting individuals with disabilities.
