Have you ever been caught off guard by a question that made you feel… exposed?

In this episode, I’m sharing a moment that stopped me in my tracks—the time a stranger asked, “How do you even do that with one arm?”—and what it’s like to navigate questions like that when you’re just trying to live your life.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about the weight of being seen as different, and the emotional work of trying to feel normal in a world that constantly points it out.

💛 This one’s for the woman who’s tired of always having to explain herself.

You don’t need the perfect answer.

You don’t owe anyone a performance of your strength.

Inside this vulnerable and empowering conversation, I’m sharing:

🙃 A story about being asked how I live my life—with one arm—in the middle of Target

💬 Why even well-meaning questions can still feel heavy

🧠 The shift that helped me stop feeling like I needed to explain myself

🛑 Permission to not educate or justify how you exist

🌿 The quiet power of showing up without apology or explanation

🎧 Because your life is not a TED Talk—and you don’t need to prove your worth.
