GIFTED

In today's episode, I chat with Dr. Jeff Preston, an assistant professor of disability studies at KIng's College and a disability advocate. After being diagnosed with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy & being confined to a wheelchair for most of his life, Jeff has learned to view what others consider a disadvantage as his own advantage.

If you're struggling with feeling isolated by your differences, this is the episode for you. Jeff dismantles the societal idea of "normal," explains how he's been able to find the positivity in his disability, and emphasizes the value in being different.

Do you ever struggle with feeling different? In the first episode of the GIFTED podcast, Dani shares what life was like growing up as a highly gifted child. She went on to start college at age 15, and describes some of the highs and lows of that experience. During her time in college, she joined a sorority, became Panhellenic President, and eventually graduated at age 18.
 
 If you're wondering how to handle being singled out for the qualities that make you different, Dani shows you how she dealt with the criticism she received about her age, and how you can learn to embrace your uniqueness and thrive.
