What happens when two women with limb differences sit down—not to inspire, not to perform—but to tell the truth?
In this very first episode of Living Unlimbited, co-hosts Pauline and Jessica share why this podcast needed to exist. Born without arms (and with different limb experiences), they reflect on growing up without representation, navigating identity, confidence, relationships, work, and visibility—and what it might have changed if a space like this had existed sooner.
This conversation is an invitation. An invitation to people with limb differences, people who’ve acquired disabilities later in life, and allies who want to listen, learn, and belong. It’s not about fixing anything. It’s about naming what’s real, sharing lived wisdom, and creating a space where no one has to explain themselves—or feel alone—in their experience.
Key Takeaways
You don’t need to have everything figured out to belong—your lived experience is already enough.
Being “different” isn’t a personal flaw; it’s a shared human experience that deserves language and community.
Emotional challenges around disability are real, valid, and often overlooked—and talking about them matters.
There’s no single way to live with limb difference; experience varies, and all of it belongs here.
Representation isn’t about inspiration—it’s about validation and visibility.
Wisdom doesn’t come from perfection, but from lived experience over time.
Community grows when stories are shared honestly, not polished for approval.
Reflection Questions
1. Where in your life have you felt unseen, misunderstood, or alone—and what might change if that experience were named and shared?
2. What stories have you told yourself about who you are or what’s possible—and which ones are ready to be questioned?
How might your lived experience become a source of connection rather than isolation?
