Ever wondered if you were disabled or not? Maybe you have newly lost your mobility or you're fed up with all the advice that tells you your life is over and you want an honest guide to living your best life. Am I Disabled Now? is just for you. Each week Hannah from Not Your Grandma's interviews prominent people in the chronic illness and disability world, covering everything from community, fitness and working. Each guest also discusses their experiences with becoming disabled.
How do you use mobility aids and still feel like you? Often the images we see of people using mobility aids are dreary and it looks like their life is over but that’s so far from reality. This week’s guest is Annika from @LittlePineNeedle who started the amazing #BabeWithAMobilityAid movement. We talk about coming to terms with loss of mobility, buying your first mobility aid and what it feels like to start claiming the word disabled.
