Ep 10: Discovering I Was Deaf - Body Wisdom and Identity with Samantha Baines

In this episode of The Body Talks, I am joined by Samantha Baines: deaf author, actor and broadcaster, plus disability and deafness campaigner.

We begin with a grounding and an ovaries check-in, then move through Samantha’s story of discovering she was deaf at 29, learning to advocate for access, writing children’s books with deaf protagonists, navigating invisible identities and how motherhood reshaped her relationship with her body.

You’ll leave with laughter, insight and practical language for being more human when someone discloses disability.
