The Shame of Disability & the Disability of Shame

Shame is a silent, crippling force that can dismantle confidence and stall personal growth. My journey with shame began with an invisible, permanent hand injury from years in the tech industry—a disability I could hide but that quietly ate away at my self-worth. Shame doesn’t discriminate; whether it stems from a disability, sexuality, appearance, past choices, or family background, it’s a powerful barrier to fulfillment. In this deeply personal talk, I’ll share how confronting the shame of my physcial disability became a gift and the key to unlocking my greatest success and joy. By exploring the role of shame in your own life, you, too, can free yourself from the confines of hidden insecurities and start thriving.
