Embracing Differences: Michelle Steiner on Disability and Wellness

Being different or just having an alternative way to do things isn't a bad thing.
Have you ever thought about how we perceive disabilities and what it means to live with one? In this episode of 'Friday Night Feels', host Patrick Monette is joined by Michelle Steiner, a passionate disability advocate and writer. Together, they dive into the complexities of redefining disability, breaking down the stigma, and fostering a more inclusive society. Michelle shares her personal journey, illustrating how her unique perspective enhances her life in unexpected ways.
She talks about capturing details in pictures that others might miss and uses relatable analogies, like building a house, to explain her experiences. The conversation isn't just about disability; it also touches on men's wellness, mental health, stress management, and relationship struggles. Patrick and Michelle emphasize that being different is not a drawback but a strength that can bring valuable insights to the table.
They discuss the challenges faced by people with disabilities, such as the fear parents might have about getting their children tested. The episode highlights the importance of advocating for those with disabilities and creating meaningful connections despite the hurdles. Michelle's message is clear: everyone has something to contribute, whether through full-time work, part-time jobs, or volunteer efforts. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that embracing our differences can lead to a richer, more compassionate world.
