Mobility Aids and Internalized Ableism-ep42

Mobility Aids and Internalized Ableism-ep42

Listen in for today’s answer to a question from Instagram follower @wheelaroundtheworlditd who asked, “Will I ever be able to have children, or is it wrong/selfish when I’m chronically ill?”



Using a mobility aid isn’t “giving up,” it’s respecting your body’s limitations while also allowing yourself to do more things you love! ~ Sarah Reid



In today’s episode, I’ll be tackling a couple of topics - mobility aids and dealing with internalized ableism.

We’ll talk about things like:

  • Types of mobility aids

  • How to decide if you should use an aid

  • How to turn off the internal monologue that makes you question yourself

  • My best advice for you if you’re just starting to use a mobility aid

  • And more!

As promised in the Q&A, here’s a link to @the.annegirl

I’d love to hear from you! Connect with me and check out the pictures I’ve shared of Sally on Instagram @be_potsitive or Facebook @Be POTSitive.

And check out the earrings I’ve been making when my body cooperates: Be POTSitive Creations on Facebook.

If you’re looking for some chronic illness merch, head over to my Redbubble page where you’ll find lots of cute items to make you smile and raise awareness for our community.

** If you have a burning question you want me to answer in a future episode, feel free to dm me on my Instagram @be_potsitive!
