Unfit to Parent? The Stigma of Disabled Parenting


Listen Later

They say parenting is the hardest job in the world—now imagine doing it with a disability in a world that often deems you "unfit." This week, author and essayist Jessica Slice joins the fellas to reflect on her experiences with POTS and how disability has shaped her views on attraction, relationships, and parenting. She dives into the societal fear of weakness, offering fresh perspectives on accepting vulnerability as part of the human experience. From navigating discrimination against disabled parents to finding creative ways to connect with her kids and partner.
