About this episode

<p>Hannah Diviney is one of the most powerful people in pop culture.</p> <p>At just 25 years old, the author, advocate, and actor hasn&rsquo;t just called out Lizzo for using an ableist slur&mdash;she also took on Queen B herself. And she succeeded on both fronts.</p> <p>Which, once you get to know her, isn&rsquo;t surprising at all.</p> <p>In our&nbsp;Vulnerabilitea House, Hannah reflects on the questions:&nbsp;&ldquo;How do you see yourself? Is it the same way your loved ones see you?&rdquo;</p> <p>Answering with incredible vulnerability, Hannah shares how her relationship with her disability has evolved over time and what it was like growing up in a world where the Paralympics seemed like the only visible marker of success.</p> <p>We talk to Hannah about being a part of <em>intimate</em> television history, and Ryan, the love doctor, Shelton manifests a Brad (or Stewie, or Chris, or Michael-Angelo) in her future.</p> <p>Hannah, we are&nbsp;<em>so</em>&nbsp;desperate to be your friend.</p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, click here: <a href="https://bit.ly/41vzALg">https://bit.ly/41vzALg</a></p> <p>🫖&nbsp;Imperfects episode&rsquo;s mentioned in this episode</p> <ul> <li>Grant Denyer - Self Worth Was Worth Fighting For - <a href="https://apple.co/4fyvmsj">https://apple.co/4fyvmsj</a></li> </ul> <p>🎟️&nbsp;Things to go see</p> <ul> <li>Audrey at the Melbourne Women in Film Festival - <a href="https://bit.ly/4bvMHkq">https://bit.ly/4bvMHkq</a></li> </ul> <p>📺&nbsp;Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Latecomers - <a href="https://bit.ly/4kBLFaG">https://bit.ly/4kBLFaG</a></li> <li>Hannah&rsquo;s speech at the National Press Club - <a href="https://bit.ly/3QJPzQZ">https://bit.ly/3QJPzQZ</a></li> </ul> <p>📖&nbsp;Things to read</p> <ul> <li>I&rsquo;ll Let Myself In by Hannah Diviney - <a href="https://bit.ly/3DjeffZ">https://bit.ly/3DjeffZ</a></li> </ul> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
