Listen Later

For most of her life, Dizzy tried to hide her cerebral palsy, believing it made her less. Then, she shared her story online and everything changed.

In this episode, Dizzy opens up about growing up feeling invisible, the years of bullying, and the fear of being misunderstood. But she also shares the moment she chose to step into her power not just for herself, but for her son.

We talk about breaking down misconceptions, finding self-acceptance, and the unexpected impact of vulnerability. Dizzy’s story isn’t just about a disability, it’s about resilience, identity, and the freedom that comes with owning your truth.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, this conversation is for you.
