Why Dressing Well Matters in the Limb Loss and Disability Community

In this solo episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland — born without his right hand — shares a powerful message about why he feels dressing well matters for the limb loss and disability community.

This isn’t about vanity — it’s about confidence, self-respect, and advocacy. Mike explains how personal style can change the way we feel about ourselves and the way others see us. From challenging stereotypes to promoting positive representation, dressing with pride is one way to say: “I belong here — just as I am.”

🎙️ In this episode, Mike discusses:

Why appearance and self-expression are empowering after limb loss or disability

How dressing well helps break stereotypes and reshape public perception

The connection between confidence, mental health, and advocacy

How showing up with pride inspires others in the community

👕 Dressing well isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing pride in who you are. Because when we show up confidently, we make it easier for others to do the same.
