Chapter 4 Conversation – Shifting the Narrative: “I Learn Differently” | Embracing Your Different Ability®
About this episode
In this episode of The Different Ability® Podcast, Katey, her mom Lynn, and a special guest appearance by her dad dive into Chapter 4 of Embracing Your Different Ability®. They explore the transformative power of the phrase “I just learn differently,” how it shaped Katey’s identity through middle school and beyond, and the critical role of parental support in embracing her diagnosis rather than feeling shame. The conversation also tackles society’s fixation on “normal,” moments of self-doubt, and how Katey leverages her visual thinking and creative strengths in her work, life, and advocacy today. This episode offers encouragement for anyone redefining what success and learning look like on their own terms.
