30. Being Present But Unseen with Asha Callaghan

What happens when you’re invisible in your own conversations?
In this raw and honest chat, I sit down with my friend Asha to unpack the frustrating experience of being ignored or spoken over simply because I have a visible disability.

We explore the emotional toll of having others answer for me, when friends should step in, and how “compliments” like “It’s amazing you’re out today” can actually reinforce harmful stereotypes.

Whether you have a disability, are an ally, or just want to be more mindful in how you interact with others, this episode offers practical insights into support, advocacy, and the simple power of acknowledging someone directly.

Thanks so much for listening to A Wheelie Good Chat! Your support means the world.
