Embracing those things and working on them in whatever way you want to, just bringing them out into the open, means that they can breathe and grow in the way that we want to go, rather than just festering in this little hole within us.
Imagine being told that the quirks and challenges you've faced all your life have a name. For comedian Harriet Kemsley, receiving a dyspraxia diagnosis was a moment of mixed emotions. In this episode of 'Why Do You Think You've Got No Friends?', host Emily Laing chats with Harriet about the rollercoaster of feelings that come with such a diagnosis—fear, relief, and everything in between.
Harriet opens up about her journey from feeling awkward and out of place to finding humor and strength in her unique experiences. The conversation dives into the stigma surrounding dyspraxia and mental health, highlighting the importance of speaking out and seeking support. Harriet shares how she rebelled against societal expectations and how motherhood has given her a new perspective on life.
Her story is a testament to the power of embracing one's differences and using humor as a tool for resilience. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating similar challenges or looking for inspiration to turn their struggles into strengths.
