In this special bonus episode of Let’s Make Happiness Accessible™, I sit in a rocking chair outside Lowe’s and reflect on a lifelong pattern I never fully understood—until now. I share how discovering my lunar-geared creativity and empathic flow gave me permission to stop forcing productivity in the sunlight and start honoring how I’m wired. This episode is a raw, voice-recorded moment of breakthrough—recorded right there in the moment, because I had to.

If you’re a night thinker, a late bloomer, or someone who’s always felt “off rhythm” with the world, this one’s for you.

Ever had one of those deaf moments where technology made things worse? In this short episode, I share a funny real-life story that happened at a pizza buffet. I had my cochlear implant and hearing aid set to "streaming focus" mode, enjoying some 80s music while eating alone. But when a staff member started talking to me, I realized too late I couldn't hear a word she said. Just a lot of smiling and nodding while totally guessing. Relatable? You bet. #DeafAwareness #CochlearImplantLife #DeafHumor #AccessibilityMatters #HearingLossJourney #DeafCulture #StreamingFocus #DisabilityStories #LetsMakeHappinessAccessible
