This final episode of the year is a reflective conversation about consent and why it matters in everyday life.

I talk about how physical touch, especially hugging, is often automatic and well intentioned, but not always comfortable for everyone. From my own perspective, I share why consent is about more than just intention. It’s about pausing, checking in and allowing people the space to choose.

This episode looks at consent through a broader lens, beyond disability alone. Everyone has different boundaries, comfort levels and experiences, and those can change over time. Respecting that doesn’t make things awkward, it makes people feel seen.

I also take a moment to reflect on the year that’s been for the podcast. From returning to solo episodes to reaching Episode 40, it’s been a year of learning, growth and finding my voice.

Thank you for listening and being part of this space. Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. I’ll be back in 2026 with more honest conversations.
