48. mobility tools therapy sesh

hi hello hey, and welcome to our therapy session!

We’ve talked about mobility tools on our show before (early on in episode 2, wow!), but it was more of an introduction to the tools we use and why. This episode is more personal, as we explain our feelings surrounding these tools. Sometimes, we feel that people see us differently for using tools, whether it’s an isolating feeling with the cane or too much frustrating attention with the guide dog. Our chat this week is almost a hybrid of episode 2 and episode 31 on “passing” for sighted/blind. We hope you enjoy a peek into our minds as we get a little vulnerable and can begin to understand the strange gray area we live in.
