My blog is very much orientated around my own experiences and my day-to-day life as a disabled person. But I like to invite a guest to share their perspective from time to time. Something I frequently discuss is the topic of employment. Those posts tend to take more of a practical approach, sharing advice on…
I’ll let you into a little secret. I had the idea for this blog post months ago. Funnily enough I put off writing it, because imposter syndrome took a hold. The irony isn’t lost on me. It was only when I shared a ramble on Instagram that I thought I’d bite the bullet and let…
Accessibility is a common theme on my blog and ramblings on social media. I use my platforms for what I hope is a resource of tips and advice. I’ve tried to collect a lot of those musings and bring them together in what I can only describe as one rather lengthy blog post. So I…
Navigating your way around an inaccessible society is the everyday reality for disabled people. We’re made to feel like an inconvenience when requesting adjustments. We feel like the problem when a building isn’t accessible. We’re met with disapproval when asking for assistance on public transport. We find ourselves apologising when we ask a friend, family…
At the time of writing, it’s 2022. Yet disabled people are still being overlooked when it comes to employment. Our skills and talents are being ignored. Barriers are being placed in front of us, even before we’ve had the chance to prove ourselves. However, when disabled people are given those opportunities, employers are left feeling…

![Last week, I shared some thoughts on how I sometimes feel like I’m not doing enough. That mini ramble alluded to a blog post, a longer ramble if you will.
I had the idea months ago, coincidentally I put off writing it, because imposter syndrome took a hold.
I’ve feel like my disability fuels much of my imposter syndrome. Feeling like my success is more down to luck, rather than how hard I’ve worked, trying to keep all the plates spinning, and feeling like I’m not doing enough.
They’ve felt strong recently.
As a result, I took to the blog as a way of letting those feelings out. I actually found it quite cathartic to let my thoughts flow onto the page, my fingers finding their way to the keys, my screen reader echoing the words back to me.
I’m allowing myself to be vulnerable in this one. It’s quite possibly one of the most open and honest blog posts I’ve ever published.
If you also feel like your disability (or another part of your life) fuels your imposter syndrome, I’m hoping that you might find comfort in what I have to say.
It can be so easy to forget that we’re trying our best. Even if we don’t think it, we’re all doing enough. There’s only so many balls we can juggle.
The next time imposter syndrome makes you feel like a fraud or makes you doubt yourself, remember how far you’ve come.
