44 - Wise Advice on Dating (Part 2 with Shirley Paceley)

Today we're continuing our conversation with  Shirley Paceley, author of SHINING A LIGHT: Creating Pathways to Equity, Safety, Healing, and Justice With People with Disabilities.  See last week's episode for the first part of our conversation.

One of my favorite parts of the book is a project Shirley shares about the Dare to Dream project. I feel strongly we need to do much more with people with disabilities to encourage them to go after their dreams and even take risks. I talk to Shirley about what were the key learnings she took away from the Dare to Dream project.

We also talk about:

  • The particular challenges for people with disabilities in dating and relationships.
  • How society can change to be more open to seeing people with disabilities as dating and relationships partners.
  • Helpful advice you can give for someone with a disability in search of dating success and healthy relationships.
