279 - 2DD LIVE: The Power of Owning Your Disability

Aug 22, 2025

Episode Description

Recorded live in-studio (CA and PA), Kyle and Sean welcome viewers and then dive into a vulnerable discussion about the transition from walking to using assistive devices like walkers and wheelchairs. Incorporating comments from the audience, they talk honestly about the embarrassment, shame, and pride tied to showing visible signs of disability, as well as the unexpected freedom and safety these tools can bring. The conversation expands into themes of feeling like a burden, hiding pain, struggling with speech in public or professional settings, and ultimately the power of owning one’s reality rather than hiding it.
