Unstoppable: Shawna May on Overcoming Adversity

How can you overcome the challenges of being a disabled content creator and advocate for others? In this episode, Shauna May, a disability advocate, content creator, and podcaster, opens up about her personal journey and how she pushes boundaries in media despite adversity. Shauna shares how she navigates life with multiple disabilities and how her mother’s encouragement shaped her resilient mindset. 

Shauna shares the realities of working in a space where not everyone is supportive or understands the challenges faced by people with disabilities. She provides practical advice on how to advocate for yourself, the importance of self-worth beyond traditional qualifications, and the need for more awareness and compassion in society. 

Through her inspiring story, she urges us to pursue our dreams and never give up—no matter the obstacles in our way.
