33. Same App, Different Struggles with Sophie Brewer

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Sophie to chat about our very different experiences on dating apps, me as a woman with a disability, and her as an able-bodied woman.

From hiding my wheelchair in profile pics to getting invasive questions like “Can you feel it?” in the first few messages, I share what it’s really like trying to date in a world that often overlooks women with a disability. Meanwhile, Sophie deals with the usual ghosting and bad banter.

We talk about how ableism shows up even in digital spaces, how exhausting it can be to explain accessibility needs, and why being seen as “inspiring” just for dating isn’t the compliment people think it is.

It’s raw, real, and definitely not your average dating chat.
