E104: IYCS-Audio Flash Files #32 "Independence is a Noun That Does Not Always Need to be Achieved Alone"

April 08, 2025 • Tandem Podcasting • Season 7 • Episode 104

32nd InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files gives you a boost of life advice and perspectives that’ll provide empowering tools you can practically incorporate into your life for more success and joy.

This is the next addition from our “Personal Growth Series” for 2025, where all episodes will be targeting one of four major personal growth areas in life, so young people living with chronic illness/disability can gain techniques to empower themselves for their best versions of adapting for success.

We’re focusing on the area of independence for the final time, and specifically how we can improve our perception of independence being a state of being that requires actions to be done alone and rather alter that opinion to approach it with supports and flexibility to bring personal growth and mental well-being into your end goal of independent living.

Learn the steps on why it is so important to reach levels of independence as we grow up, what are the main life factors that can impede our goals of independence, why it is important to reframe the way we approach independence as a state of being free, and not a state that needs to be achieved alone at all times, and why it’s even more valuable for those with chronic illness and disability to approach independence as an altered independence mindset.

Gain the ideas behind our life-improving technique, Triangle Independence Mindset, on why looking at independence in a new light as something to achieve in an end goal versus the process of getting there needs to be done alone can reframe your goals, why it is vital to incorporate supports to reach the same end goal without the solo work that can hurt your health, and how independence is actually a state of being that can still be achieved with an altered approach of allowing those supports (whether they’re people or structures) into our lives so that we can still achieve independence and independent living just in a way that breaks away from the societal norm.

Plus, founder Dominique opens up about her recovery process after her spine surgery and how she lost a sense of independence by needing help from others, but when she reframed her mindset on what her independence goals were while at school, she was able to look at it from a new framework, incorporate some pillars of support that assisted her health needs, and achieve independence in a new way.

Let's get talking and learn how to incorporate as many elements of this life-improving technique as possible for your optimal for success and comfortability so there’s a sense of ease, success, and joy being added into all aspects of your life living with chronic illness/disability!
