Learning to Love Who You Are
In this episode, Brooke is talking with Chandy about learning to love yourself, and your disability
From trying to fit in, through to learning to curate your own self-love, they chat about how learning to love yourself is a journey, the importance of community and why in life you just need to ‘do you’
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People will tell you things when you are disabled but you don’t have to believe it
- Learning to love who you are and your disability is a journey
- Self-love is so important and you have to learn to curate your own self-love
- It is a journey and I spent a lot of time growing up trying to fit in by being what I thought other people wanted me to be
- There is support out there and there are people and your community who will lift you up in the moments you need it
- In life you just need to ‘do you’ and surround yourself with people who understand you, that group of solid humans around you are so important
- Being disabled has made my empathy and belief that things can be better really strong
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes I have days where I just don’t want to acknowledge my disability, so having different levels of how I can talk about it really helps
‘Having a disability has given me some of my worst moments but also some of my best’
‘Life is a marathon, not a sprint and you have to do your own thing’

Disabled & Proud Podcast
ABOUT THE HOST
Disabled and Proud is the show that brings listeners a different perspective on disability. Each week this podcast highlights an awesome disabled guest speaking about their own disability; why they are proud to be disabled and why they are proud to be themselves.
The conversations in this show will look at what challenges these amazing people face socially, mentally, physically and life in general. This show is raw, open, honest, funny, welcoming and educational.
Disabled & Proud does exactly what it says on the tin! And whilst we are creating this space for disabled people to be unashamedly themselves, without the need to conform to society, this is also not about toxic positivity. This show will be shining a big, bright light on disability without it being “Paralympic or pity”.
As you will hear disability is WHOLE, COMPLETE & PERFECT and whilst the topic of disability can be quite heavy - and we definitely don't shy away from the bad days - this podcast is also about having fun too! Our aim is to play a part in reclaiming the word disability - turning it from inadequacy to perfection!
