  • It’s rare, but every time it’s incredibly unpleasant. It’s expecting to bite into a nice soft food, but instead chomping on a piece of metal, praying that you didn’t just break a tooth.

    It happened to me a few times one year when I started getting neurological disorder. It stopped once I started paying attention to what I eat, cherishing every bite.








  • I’m pretty severely physically disabled. I have a degenerative bone disease called polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with Mccune-Albright syndrome. My bone marrow is slowly turning into tumors, causing fractures as I walk, move, exist. It also causes my endocrine to go hyper, hypo, or just shut off at random. So I’m pretty sick.

    I didn’t realize all the clinical hours needed for all the certificates and such that I needed to complete the doctorate. My body was just not letting me get the work in.

    I was getting my higher educations at Sexology Institute in Miami semi remotely. Since we knew the dean personally, I asked if I could use my credits and go for another doctorate offered since I had all the core classes and a ton of sexology specific classes. The best one offered with no clinical requirements was a philosophy degree.

    I wasn’t going to use it for work since I’m disabled. So I knew that I’d be able to use it for what I wanted to use it for, and that was teaching others, academia, life coaching, that sort of stuff.

    It’s also super helpful in running businesses as you have a changed perspective in a lot of things.

    I was also able to graduate on time too after putting in some extra hours. Another benefit, I suppose, of being disabled
