I'm joined by Jessica Slice, author of Dateable: Swiping Right, Hooking Up, and Settling Down While Chronically Ill and Disabled. Diagnosed at 28, Jessica opens up about how her life and dating experiences transformed post-diagnosis. She shares the emotional differences before and after her diagnosis, offering a glimpse into her journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
Jessica delves into the complexities of disclosing her disability to potential partners, discussing when and how much to share. She reflects on how her diagnosis changed her self-view and the time it took to build a healthy relationship with her condition. We also explore how therapy helped her relationships, pushing through discomfort to find safety and understanding in them.
