Hope you all are having a great start to the week!
This episode of The Tye Pod features a conversation between the PhD host and Daniela, a disabled model and content creator, about disability, intimacy, and dating.
Daniela shares her life with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), her treatment with Spinraza, and challenges with insurance, along with her background in music. She discusses navigating dating apps, prioritizing safety and trust, confronting stereotypes about disabled intimacy, and the importance of self-advocacy. The episode closes with reflections on her content creation journey.
