(BEST OF) How to Really Believe Your Body is Good: Carson Tueller

Carson Tueller shares how a paralyzing accident at 23 forced him to confront the stories his culture taught him about bodies and worth. He explains that much of his suffering came not from his physical condition but from societal ableism, which ranks some bodies as “good” and others as broken. Carson describes how disability led him to deeper intimacy and the best sex of his life, and offers a framework for ceasing to postpone living until your body changes. The conversation challenges the belief that your body must meet certain standards to be acceptable and emphasizes that your deepest Self never sees you as broken.
