Episode 30: Still Hot, Still Sick: Dating When Your Body Doesn’t Cooperate

Dating is hard. Dating with chronic illness or disability? That’s a whole different battlefield.

In this episode, Sam sits down with the founders of Dateability, the first dating app built specifically for people with chronic illnesses and disabilities. Together, they unpack the emotional reality of navigating dating in bodies that don’t always cooperate, the isolation so many experience on mainstream apps, and the power of creating spaces where disability is normalized — not hidden.

The founders share their personal journeys, the inspiration behind Dateability, and how community, inclusivity, and empowerment are at the heart of everything they’re creating. They also reveal what’s next for the app and why fostering real, supportive connections isn’t just a feature, it’s the mission.
