About this listen
If you’re tired of being seen only through the lens of your spinal cord injury, this episode is for you.
Jerod, Lorie, and Abbie talk about the invisible weight that comes with SCI—the invasion of privacy for information about your injury, representing the disability community as a whole, and having to be an advocate for the needs that exist as a person living with quadriplegia or paraplegia.
They open up about self-imposed limits, the emotional toll of feeling like a spokesperson for the entire wheelchair community, and how they set boundaries on who gets access to their story. Most importantly, they explore what it means to take back your identity, stop apologizing for where you are, and start living for yourself again.
This isn’t about giving up—it’s about redefining freedom on your terms.
