On this episode of Flirtations is Jessica Jordan Ping, who was born with a rare disability called CHILD syndrome that affects 60 people worldwide. Now 27, I was absolutely honored to share this conversation with Jessica as we answer all your questions about dating with a disability!

Whether you have a visible or invisible disability, are an ally of the disabled community, or curious to learn more about this important topic, I hope you'll check out this episode!

First, we'll learn more about Jessica, her experiences growing up, and how she was able to develop a fierce love for herself and believe in the possible, despite a world that lacked examples or representation of disabled people. One of my favorite things about Jessica is her sense of humor, which is on full display!

Then we'll get into your dating questions around boundaries, what to put (and not put) on a dating profile, how to navigate those initial conversations on dates around how much to share, how to date from a place of empowerment, and more. We'll also hear about Jessica's advocacy efforts, how ableism works its way into every day life, and what we can all do to support the disabled community.

After the interview, "Ask the Flirt Coach" is back! In this segment, we'll talk to Jordan who is multi-dating and wants to know, how do you not compare two people you are dating to one another in the early stages? How do you know which one is ultimately a better match if you're physically attracted to one, but the other you're emotionally attracted to? You don't want to miss this!

The conversation continues on Swell with bonus clips, extended interviews, and more! After each episode, head on over to Swell and let's keep flirting! https://www.swellcast.com/BenjaminCamras
