On this episode of Walk and Roll Live, we welcome back Brandi and introduce Neshama as we continue our deep dive into invisible disabilities. Neshama opens up about living with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Sensory Processing Disorder, while Brandi shares her experiences with a rare nerve disease, being Hard of Hearing, fibromyalgia, and learning disabilities.

Both women reveal the daily challenges they face—often in the shadow of skepticism from others—simply because their disabilities aren’t visible. From sensory overload to slow information processing, and from physical pain to emotional resilience, they shed light on the realities that can’t be seen but are deeply felt. This is a powerful conversation about breaking stereotypes, finding coping strategies, and advocating for understanding and inclusion. Walk and Roll Live
