Listen "What Ableism Really Looks Like"
Episode Synopsis
When people hear the word “ableism,” they often think of blatant discrimination — things like refusing someone a job because of a disability. But the truth is, ableism often hides in plain sight. It’s in the comments people make, the assumptions they hold, and the systems that were never designed with us in mind.In this episode, I’m breaking down what ableism really looks like for people living with invisible disabilities — from the subtle moments of disbelief and judgment to the ways our needs are minimized or ignored. I’ll talk about how it shows up in workplaces, healthcare, and even in everyday conversations, and how we can start recognizing and challenging it when we see it.Connect with me:Facebook: www.facebook.com/walkingwithheatherTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@walkingwithheatherPatreon: www.patreon.com/walkingwithheather
