  • Dating Apps With Muscular Dystrophy: The Real Pros and Cons
    Jul 29 2026

    In this episode, I share my honest thoughts about using dating apps while living with muscular dystrophy and a visible disability.

    I discuss some of the possible benefits, including meeting people outside your usual social circle, connecting with others from home, and having more opportunities to start conversations. I also talk about the difficult side of dating apps, such as being judged by appearance, deciding when to mention your disability, dealing with rejection, and wondering whether someone truly sees you as a potential partner.

    This is a real conversation about confidence, honesty, stereotypes, and the challenges and possibilities of dating with a disability.

  • Why Some People Can’t See Past Disability in Dating
    Jul 29 2026

    In this episode, I share my thoughts on dating, attraction, and why some people struggle to see beyond a person’s disability.

    I talk about the assumptions people may make about independence, relationships, caregiving, and what it means to date someone living with muscular dystrophy. I also reflect on how those attitudes can affect confidence and make people with disabilities feel overlooked before someone takes the time to know who they truly are.

    This is an honest conversation about stereotypes, rejection, self-worth, and the importance of seeing the person before the disability.

    Cody shares his personal journey, his experiences competing in power soccer, and how adaptive sports helped him build confidence, friendships, and a stronger sense of purpose. We also discuss the challenges of living with muscular dystrophy and the importance of continuing to pursue the things that bring meaning and joy to our lives.
