About this listen

Ayla Regione spent years hiding her deafness, trying to “keep up”, and pushing through without asking for what she needed. When barriers got in her way, she blamed herself.

But everything changed when someone reminded her that access isn’t a privilege — it’s a right.

This episode is a powerful story of identity, internalised ableism, and what it means to stop apologising for your needs and start claiming your space.

“I wasn’t the one that was failing the world. The world was failing me.”
