Hi, I’m Rae… the creator behind Wait, I’m Disabled.

I’m disabled, creative, chaotic at times, stubborn most of the time, and someone who’s learned to navigate life in a very different way than expected. What started as trying to understand my own body and health slowly became a place where I could speak openly, honestly, and sometimes humorously about disability, chronic illness, daily life, and everything in between.

This website is more than just blogs or awareness posts. It’s a space built from lived experience. Somewhere real. Somewhere human. A place where creativity, advocacy, storytelling, and community all exist together without needing to fit perfectly into one box.

Alongside my writing, you’ll also find Wonky & Lanky.. A creative world inspired by different perspectives, individuality, disability, and the idea that people can experience the same world in completely different ways while still understanding each other deeply.

When I’m not writing or creating, I’m usually surrounded by beads, notebooks full of ideas, unfinished projects, colourful hair dye, or trying to convince myself I definitely don’t need another creative hobby.

Whether you’re here to read, learn, relate, support, or just be nosey..

Welcome.

I’m glad you found your way here.

🤍🌈

Wyld Peak

Wyld Peak is an outdoor and creative brand for people who feel most themselves outside, making something, or moving through the world in their own way.

The brand brings together honest hiking guides, practical outdoor gear, creative design, mental health awareness, and real community storytelling. Wyld Peak is not about perfect adventure photos or pretending everyone experiences the outdoors the same way. It is about individuality, resilience, sustainability, and making room for people who explore, create, rest, struggle, adapt, and keep going in their own way.

That is why Wyld Peak connects so naturally with Wait, I’m Disabled. Both are built around honesty, lived experience, inclusion, and the belief that people should not have to become smaller, quieter, or easier to understand just to belong.
