Episode notes

People often mean well — but when it comes to blindness, good intentions can still create uncomfortable, awkward moments.

In this episode of The Blind View, we talk candidly about social interactions, emotional labor, and the subtle ways blind individuals are expected to manage other people’s discomfort. Through humor and honest reflection, this conversation explores the difference between kindness and condescension — and why awareness matters more than overcorrection.

🎧 The Blind View features authentic conversations centered on visually impaired voices and lived experience.
