How To Be A VIP

This week I'm joined by two fabulous VIPs for a fun, open and honest chat about dating with a visual impairment. We cover everything from awkward first dates to choosing partners, as well as discussing how we made our weddings accessible. We hope that this episode offers practical advice for people navigating the dating world, both with and without disabilities.

This week's conversation focuses on one of the frustrating parts of being a guide dog owner: having to face access refusals from places such as shops and restaurants. Although facing a refusal is not fun, I had the best time recording this episode and discussing this topic with the wonderfully witty Dave Kent. This interview was very open, honest and informative.
