Ep 182: From Hiding to Healing: Rebecca Engle on Disability, Advocacy & Finding Her Voice


Listen Later

In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, we sit down with Rebecca Engle—an award-winning author, disability advocate, and education policy expert—whose journey from invisibility to impact is both inspiring and transformational. With four global literary awards to her name and a fierce dedication to systemic change, Rebecca shares her personal story of resilience, identity, and what it means to stop hiding and start thriving.

Once a young woman who wore a jacket every day to shrink into the background, Rebecca now stands tall as the founder of Stitches and Stanzas, a platform designed to amplify disabled voices and empower disabled entrepreneurs. Her story is one of turning pain into purpose, creating space where it never existed, and refusing to let discrimination silence her truth.

We talk about:

  • The emotional toll of growing up in a world that wasn't built for disabled bodies
  • What healing really looks like when you’re fighting for justice
  • The power of reclaiming visibility and voice
  • Why her newest project is centered around disabled collective empowerment
  • How storytelling can dismantle stigma and rewrite broken narratives

This is an episode for anyone who’s ever felt “too much” or “not enough” for the world around them. Rebecca reminds us that hope lives in the fight, and that advocacy is healing—not just for us, but for the communities we uplift in the process.
