Chapter 1 Conversation – From Shame to Strength | Embracing Your Different Ability®
About this episode
In this episode of The Different Ability® Podcast, Katey dives deeper into Chapter 1 of Embracing Your Different Ability®. This conversation reflects on early moments of self-doubt, the long-lasting impact of being misunderstood, and the quiet signs that often get missed when a child is struggling. Together, Katey and her mom unpack a story that stayed hidden for decades, explore how adult responses shape confidence and trust, and offer insight for parents and educators who want to better support children who feel like they’re falling through the cracks.
