Ever wonder how I got started in public speaking? Well today's episode I share that story. I share a story about my amazing Great Aunt Lynn and how she was bold in telling me “no, you're not going there…” If it wasn't for my Great Aunt Lynn, I wouldn't be where I am today, I truly believe that!

I live each day striving to live a part of her amazing legacy! My Great Aunt Lynn saw something in me way back in high school, that I never saw in myself. I'm so grateful for her and so grateful she was a huge part of my life. I will never stop pushing and sharing my Different Ability with the world, to change the world for the better!

Have you ever been made fun of, teased or bullied? That's a question I get A LOT when I'm speaking on stages to kids with Different Abilities.

In today's episode, I answer that question I get almost every time I speak. I will share the story of the first time I was teased for being different. I talk about how I handled it, how it felt and most importantly I talk about how grateful I am it happened! Yes, you read that right. I am very grateful for the experience! If it weren't for that experience I know for a fact I wouldn't be where I am today!

I encourage you to stand up for yourself. It's not an easy task, but it's so worth it and will help you grow as a person each and every time you do stand up for yourself!

Many people always want to know my Different Ability Story, which is great, I appreciate it. However, I believe the loved ones around you have a story that should be heard as well.

In this episode I pulled the audio from a video interview I did with my Mom a few months ago on my Youtube Show, Motivation Moment. (link for that video is below if you'd like to see it)

I know for a fact my Mom's side to this story is a very important story. It's My Mom's story, it's my Mom's viewpoint and her struggle as well.  I know for sure her story will connect with a lot of parents that are going through or have gone through a struggle with their own kids.

You're not alone, and that's why I believe my Mom's story is just as important as mine! We are all in this together, you don't have to walk through this alone!

Here we are... the story about my actual diagnosis. This is a story of hope. This is a story of my younger self finally knowing that I'm not dumb or stupid.

In this episode I share the feeling I had when I found out My Different Ability. There was a reason I was struggling and now I finally know why and I can finally get the help I need!

This is not just my story... it's my mom's story as well. I believe we don't go through life alone and I'm one of the lucky ones that have such amazing, strong and loving parents. I have parents that never gave up on me. I have parents that didn't take no for an answer. I have parents that would go to the ends of the earth for me to make sure I was able to get the help I needed and a great education.

I know not everyone is as lucky as I am with wonderful parents but this is why I'm here. I'm here to share my stories to give hope and encouragement to others struggling. There are a lot of people in this world cheering you on. It may not feel like it sometimes, but believe me, there are! You just need to look around and realize who that person is and be brave enough to ask for help!

I believe in you and it's your turn to believe in you!

My life before the diagnosis was not rainbows and butterflies. Let me tell you, the struggle was real!

In this episode I share all about being a young child, feeling like I was dumb, stupid and feeling frustrated for not understanding things was just a horrible feeling.

I have heard of a lot of people that have felt this way before and it's honestly why I'm here... it's why I'm here sharing my story. I hope by me sharing my stories it will help others not feel so alone. I hope it will encourage kids and young adults to not give up! I hope it will encourage parents to not give up on their children!

We are all different and I believe knowing your Different Ability, learning about it, celebrating it and owning it gives you the courage to and ability to not let anything stop you from achieving your dreams and goals!

Enjoy this first part of My Different Ability Story!

It's not your disability, it's your Different Ability!
