34. When the Future Feels Fragile

In this vulnerable episode, I open up about the emotional and practical challenges of ageing with a disability. From fears of physical decline and lack of medical answers, to the deep anxiety of one day losing my mum, who has been my primary caregiver since I was eight, this episode explores what it means to age when your independence is so closely tied to someone else’s care.

I talk about the guilt, grief and hope that come with future planning, and my desire for sustainable support that doesn’t sacrifice freedom or connection. Ageing with a disability is confronting, but it’s also a privilege, and I’m doing my best to honour that.
