AfA : What ' s next for you ?
Renee : I am in the midst of launching a coaching and consulting business to help others aspire to follow their dreams and live authentically . There is a lot of work to be done in the disability travel space as well and I will continue to be an advocate for all things in this arena . More can be found on my webpage at reneebruns . net as I start to build out this new chapter in my life .
AfA : What advice would you give to your younger self ?
Renee : Every single dream you have is achievable . So many people are going to tell you that it ' s not possible and you need to ignore those people . Only you can know what is possible for you .
AfA : What message would you like to share with the world about the importance of inclusivity and the power of blogging to unite people ?
Renee : I ' m a big believer that we all have a powerful story to be shared . I know that everyone has their struggles . Many of my struggles ( like so many others ) are visibly shared with the world , but there are others who are struggling with invisible disabilities too . For me , writing my experiences in words has allowed me to express a part of me that is more difficult to share vocally . I hope that my story and my words resonate with my readers , and I encourage everyone who wants to share their story to do so . The community that comes from story sharing is a wonderful place , and the self-discovery that comes from writing is so different from any other form of self-discovery . I also believe that sharing deeper parts of our experiences as disabled people allows others to see into a part of our world that isn ' t available by interacting in person .
