Reject the common beliefs around disability to cultivate self-acceptance, regain control, and navigate the path to genuine belonging.

In Boldly Belong: The Power of Prioritizing You in a Disabling Society, dedicated disability inclusion advocate and process improvement specialist Julie Harris delivers an actionable guide for those navigating life with disabilities. It is a practical roadmap to belonging that challenges the unjust societal shame and stigmas that shape our beliefs of disability and ourselves. The book includes reflective exercises and practical strategies to incorporate the mindset of acceptance into everyday life. The author accepts the idea of limitations caused by disability as a neutral fact, rather than as a negative or positive, and shows us how to use limitations as parameters to accept and work within, rather than resist or reframe.

In the book, you''ll learn why self-acceptance, rather than trying to fit in or unrealistic, positive reframing, is the key to belonging. You''ll also discover:

• How accepting your limitations, needs, and true self can lead to profound growth and possibility
• New insights that help you to question and deconstruct the harmful beliefs you''ve always been told to be true about you and your disability
• How to identify who you are and finally believe that you are enough
• Strategies for self-advocacy that effectively further your interests in a wide variety of settings and circumstances

Perfect for people from all over the world who have a body or brain that works differently, Boldly Belong is also an essential read for business, academic, military, and athletic leaders who want to understand more about disability and cultivate disability inclusive environments that promote belonging.
