My Story

In this episode, I will be sharing my story about growing up deaf and hard of hearing. For years, I struggled with how others saw me. I went from being confident and outgoing, to feeling insecure and reserved. I felt like I had to hide my disability. If you’ve ever felt different or struggled with self-acceptance, I hope this episode reminds you that your disability doesn’t define you! Never apologize for who you are!
