Meet Dr. Janice Moran, one of our newest clinicians at Her Time Therapy and a fierce advocate for disability-affirming mental health care. In this episode, Janice sits down with Meagan to explore how her lived experience as a blind woman informs and strengthens her clinical practice.

We cover:

• What disability-affirming therapy actually looks like in the room
• How trauma, grief, and chronic illness intersect with identity
• The unspoken challenges—and hidden strengths—of navigating life with a disability
• The power of EMDR, internal attunement, and "turning the volume down" on anxiety
• How systems often fail disabled people—and how therapists can do better
• Why interdependence, not independence, should be the goal
• And how Janice uses humor, metaphor, and deep listening to help clients reclaim their stories

Whether you are a client, a clinician, or someone who wants to be a better ally, this conversation is full of practical insight, radical empathy, and fierce clarity.
