What happens when people decide what you're capable of before you've had the chance to prove them wrong?

In this episode of Beyond Beautiful, Mandi sits down with Michelle Steiner, a writer, advocate, paraeducator, and photographer who lives with an invisible disability. Throughout her life, Michelle was told she wouldn't be able to attend college, earn a degree, get published, or pursue the career she wanted. Yet she has done all of those things—and more.

Together, Mandi and Michelle explore learning differences, invisible disability, self-advocacy, educational barriers, and the power of believing in yourself when others underestimate you.

This conversation is a reminder that disability does not define our potential, and that sometimes the greatest barriers we face are the expectations others place on us.
