This week, Maria talks with author and speaker Emily Goodson about her new book Dating Disability: 15 Stories of Dealing with the BS and Building Confidence. Emily shares her experiences dating with a disability and how working with an intimacy coach helped her break patterns of shame and self-protection. They discuss visible and invisible disabilities, the social barriers disabled people face, and why representation in dating and media matters. This conversation is full of insight for anyone looking to date with confidence, empathy, and self-awareness.
