What if the thing that broke you open at nine years old became the very gift you spent the rest of your life giving to the world? In this episode, I sit down with Tiffany Yu—CEO and founder of Diversability, author of The Anti-Ableist Manifesto, and one of the most soul-led entrepreneurs I've had the pleasure of knowing. What started as a college disability club at Georgetown has grown into a global movement spanning 17 countries, over $100,000 in microgrants, and a platform that is redefining what disability pride looks like today. This conversation goes to the messy middle. We talk about what it really means to build something from nothing, how Tiffany navigated getting fired as the catalyst that launched Diversability full-time, the internal voice that still tells her she can't—and why she shows up anyway. Tiffany shares the five pillars that shape her advocacy, the gentle nudges from the universe she's learned to trust, and the profound reminder that the greatest gift you can give the world is simply being yourself.
