This empowering book offers deeply affirming, versatile ideas for reflecting on our lives and caring for ourselves. Rebecca Sullivan’s warmth and humor make her book a joy to read for anyone looking to embrace our diverse identities and thrive in our own ways. – Jennifer Elizabeth Brunton, Ph.D * Author, The #ActuallyAutistic Guides *
An excellent read that puts the substance back into self-care and what this truly looks like in practice for disabled people. Rebecca has long been one of my icons and role models when it comes to Disabled Joy! – Pippa Stacey * Author of How To Do Life With A Chronic Illness *
I have read many books about disability, but few have spoken to the heart of the disabled experience as authentically as this one. With honesty, warmth and deep insight Rebecca’s approach to disabled self-care is gentle, practical, and deeply empowering. – Charlotte Beaumont MBACP * Disability and Chronic Illness Counsellor *
