Introducing What’s the Difference? It’s a podcast about living with invisible disabilities. I’m hosting the show with three other women who are also living with challenges. They range from a heart condition which was diagnosed at birth to blindness as well as another woman who also has epilepsy. Our first episode debuted on February 12. We discuss how our disabilities/challenges have impacted our lives, including how we’re treated once people find out about them, how it impacts romantic relationships, work life and more.

This is going to be a regular thing and my co-hosts and I hope that it will help destigmatize invisible disabilities (which often gets left out of the picture when it comes to ability diversity) and give people like us a voice. Considering my cultural heritage seems to be one which hides things quite a bit (I don’t even want to get into it when it comes to mental health. It’s YEARS behind Anglo-Canadian culture and there’s still stigma there), I KNOW that I might heavily criticized. I don’t care about that – it’s important to make changes, no matter how challenging.

What’s the Difference? can be heard on Anchor as well as pretty much anywhere one finds podcasts (such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts). I’ll be posting new episodes on this page as well. Of course, please subscribe if you’d like to be notified of new episodes. We’re also on Facebook and Instagram!
