63: Chronic Illness + Disability + Woman = My Experience of Unconscious Bias
Manage episode 474824390 series 3546213
Do you believe in unconscious bias?
In this solo episode, I share a moment that made me stop and think. While representing Hurdle2Hope® at a recent health event, I noticed how quickly assumptions were made — not out of malice, just habit.
It’s something many of us living with illness or disability experience. And when you add gender into the mix? The bias can be subtle… but it’s there.
This isn’t about blame. It’s about gently noticing — and opening the conversation.
Key Takeaways:
- What unconscious bias can quietly look like
- Why assumptions about illness, disability, and gender still show up
- How being overlooked can impact confidence
- Why becoming more aware of unconscious bias matters — for all of us
