In this honest and thought-provoking continuation of Episode 6, Lois and Ian return to explore the second layer of what it means to live in a disabling world. From relentless pain and emergency surgeries to hidden struggles and the need for proof, The Line Between Disabled and Disabling - Part 2 digs into how society often fails to accommodate those who don’t “look” disabled.
Key themes include:
How chronic pain and sensory issues are often minimized or dismissed
The emotional toll of constantly having to justify your needs
Why “functioning” isn’t the same as “not struggling”
Humor, vulnerability, and chaos with cats and dogs
Moving toward acceptance, agency, and real support
If you’ve ever felt invalidated, unseen, or exhausted from explaining yourself—this episode is a reminder that your experience is real, and you don’t have to prove your pain to make it matter.
