E95: InvisiYouth Chat Sessions with sisters and deaf/cochlear implant advocates, Abigail Heringer (from Season 25 of The Bachelor and Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise) and her older sister, and commercial insurance accounts manager, Rachel

58 minutes

We’ve got one of our favorite sister duos back on the podcast, and we’re celebrating all of their achievements! It’s Rachel and Abigail Heringer! You’ll remember Abigail from Season 25 of The Bachelor and Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise (where she met her fiancée Noah) but now she’s a published author to her new memoir, The Deaf Girl! Abigail and Rachel have grown so much in the years since they were on the podcast in Season 3, both now living in Tulsa with their dogs, and they’ve been achieving successes!

Here’s our Four Hot Takeaways:

At 4:20 Rachel and Abigail answering questions about each other and reveal the new things they learned about each other from living together, what reality shows all four Heringer siblings would excel on together, what Abigail thinks a book about Rachel’s life would be titled, and the priority Rachel has when helping to plan Abigail’s bachelorette party and bridal shower.
At 15:00 the sisters dive deep into Abigail’s book and why now was the time to write Abigail’s story, how gaining their mom’s perspective on raising two daughters that were deaf and going through their CI journeys made them appreciate her strength even more, and how Rachel and Abigail believe the book writing experience allowed them to value and appreciate each other’s journeys with CI’s.
STORY TIME INTERMISSION at 33:13 and Rachel and Abigail share stories how a fender bender meant one of them lost their “ears” (AKA processors) and couldn’t communicate with the driver, and why Abigail will forever recommend looking at magnetic materials first since she misplaced her processors.
We end at 38:29 with Abigail and Rachel talking about their moves to Tulsa and their tips to acclimating to a new environment, and how Abigail’s fiancée Noah played a big role in welcoming them to the new city, why they both agree finding confidence in how you want to share about your disability allowed them to find deeper friendships, Abigail’s piece of advice for those dating with disability, Rachel’s advice in building up relationships with new family members/friends so they’re comfortable being a good support, and why they both love being dog moms to Abigail and Noah’s dog, Maki and Rachel’s dog, Lou.
