Changing the Narrative

Shopping Through the Holidays: Changing the Narrative E:8


Listen Later

In this episode 8 of Changing the Narrative, Murray and Elizabeth dive into the realities of shopping as a blind or low-vision person—just in time for the holiday season. From online shopping wins and Amazon rabbit holes to navigating big stores like Costco, asking for shopping assistance, and deciding when tactile buttons really matter, they share practical tips, honest frustrations, and lots of laughs. Along the way, the conversation takes festive detours into inflatable snowmen disasters, Grinch décor, puzzles, air fryers, bump dots, grocery store helpers, and the joy of finding familiar comfort foods. The episode wraps with thoughtful reflections on reducing holiday stress, spending within your means, prioritizing self-care, and remembering that the season is about connection, not consumerism. Equal parts helpful, relatable, and hilarious, this episode offers real-world strategies—and plenty of humor—for navigating shopping and the holidays with confidence.
