016 I'm too young for mobility aids
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
If you’ve ever felt embarrassed to use a cane, walker, or scooter because of your age or how “healthy” you look—you are not alone. This week, we’re breaking down the shame, judgment, and internalized ableism around mobility aids. I share my own experience using a rollator for the first time, plus tips and encouragement for anyone on the edge of making that decision. Because choosing support isn’t giving up—it’s choosing more life.
Memorable Quotes:
- "Would you rather suffer in silence—or show up for your life?”
- “You are allowed to prioritize your joy, even if it makes others uncomfortable.”
- “Using a mobility aid isn’t giving up. It’s choosing more presence, more experiences, more life.”
