Megan is joined by Leah, who tells her about her experience navigating the workplace with an upper limb difference.

From disclosing her upper limb difference at work to building confidence in professional environments, Leah talks openly about the realities of workplace inclusion, representation, and career growth when you don’t fit the “standard” mould.

If you’ve ever wondered how to approach conversations about your upper limb difference at work or how to feel more confident showing up as yourself, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Real experiences of working with an upper limb difference

• How workplace inclusion actually shows up day-to-day

• Why your workplace should be helping you with reasonable adjustments

• Building confidence, visibility, and representation at work

Key takeaways:

• There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to inclusion at work

• Being open (on your terms) can improve workplace inclusion

• Assistive tools and small adjustments can transform your workflow

• Representation matters for confidence, careers, and culture

Whether you’re starting your career or already in the workplace, this episode explores how to navigate professional life with an upper limb difference, practically, honestly, and on your own terms.
