Be "POTS"itive! - with Sarah Reid

Mobility Aids and Internalized Ableism-ep42


Listen Later

Listen in for today’s answer to a question from Instagram follower @wheelaroundtheworlditd who asked, “Will I ever be able to have children, or is it wrong/selfish when I’m chronically ill?”

 



Using a mobility aid isn’t “giving up,” it’s respecting your body’s limitations while also allowing yourself to do more things you love! ~ Sarah Reid



In today’s episode, I’ll be tackling a couple of topics - mobility aids and dealing with internalized ableism. 

We’ll talk about things like:

  • Types of mobility aids

  • How to decide if you should use an aid

  • How to turn off the internal monologue that makes you question yourself 

  • My best advice for you if you’re just starting to use a mobility aid

  • And more! 

  • As promised in the Q&A, here’s a link to @the.annegirl

    I’d love to hear from you! Connect with me and check out the pictures I’ve shared of Sally on Instagram @be_potsitive  or Facebook @Be POTSitive.

    And check out the earrings I’ve been making when my body cooperates: Be POTSitive Creations on Facebook.
