In this episode of I’m Disabled… So What?, Lauren is joined by disability advocate and content creator Disabled Dahling for a powerful and refreshingly honest conversation about advocacy, dating and disabled desire.

Together, they explore what it means to grow up disabled in the 2000s, navigating relationships, sex and self worth in a world that rarely acknowledged disabled people as desirable. From early experiences of dating and confidence to breaking down harmful stereotypes around disabled sexuality, this episode centres the conversations that are so often left out.

Alongside these personal experiences, Disabled Dahling shares their journey into disability advocacy, the importance of visibility, and why using your voice online and offline can create real change. The conversation highlights how advocacy can be deeply personal, rooted in lived experience, and driven by the right to be seen, heard and desired.

This episode is bold, validating and unapologetic, a reminder that disabled people are allowed full, joyful lives, including love, sex and desire, on their own terms.
