Why I Started Mobility Mentor

Why I Started Mobility Mentor Fourteen years ago, my bones decided to throw a little partty The result? A surprise diagnosis of osteopenia, which is just a fancy medical way of saying, “Hey lady, you might want to start lifting weights before your skeleton files for early retirement.”
I was in my 40s, living with cerebral palsy, carrying some extra weight that refused to leave and feeling like my health was running the show.

I got serious about my fitness.

But something big was missing.

“You Should Start a Blog,” She Said…Enter: my dear friend, Alexis. She saw what I was doing and casually said, “You should start something. Like… Mobility Mentor.”
At first, I stared at her like she’d just suggested I wrestle a bear while reciting the ADA from memory. Me? Go online? Put myself out there?

But her words stuck.

And the more I thought about it, the more I realized: I wish someone had mentored me when I was figuring out how to balance my disability, health, paperwork, power wheelchairs, and protein shakes.

Instead, I learned the hard way. Through trial, error.
So I Became the Mentor I Needed. Mobility Mentor isn’t just a name. It’s a declaration:

✅ We don’t need to be perfect to be powerful.
✅ Disability and wellness are not opposites.
✅ And that no one should have to figure this stuff out alone.

What you’ll find here at Mobility Mentor is where health meets humor, advocacy meets action, and disabled folks finally get the community we deserve.
We talk about:

• Navigating community based services without losing your mind.
• Topics regarding caregiving
• How to build your support squad

Bottom Line?I didn’t start Mobility Mentor to become an influencer.
I started it because I’ve live it, and I believe that you deserve tools, support, laughter, and a big ol’ dose of realness.
So let’s build this together. A place where we roll forward, fall sometimes, laugh often, and rise stronger.
Welcome to Mobility Mentor. Let’s do this.
