This week we welcome guest Michael Shutt, a playwright, actor, director, and producer with 30 years of experience. Michael wrote and performed the autobiographical solo show entitled, “A Lesson in Swimming” that takes audiences inside his brain as it breaks and invites them to experience how deep the cracks really go.
In this episode, we delve into the world of invisible disabilities—the challenges that can’t always be seen, but are deeply felt. Today’s guest, Michael Shutt, survived three strokes, but his journey didn’t end with survival—it began there. His experience of living with vision loss, face blindness, and sensory overload has given him a unique perspective on life, identity, and the profound need to feel seen.
Michael shares the ways he navigates a world that often misunderstands him and reveals the strategies he’s developed to stay connected, not just to others—but to himself. Through his story, we learn how authenticity and truth-telling can lead to visibility, resilience, and, ultimately, purpose.
So, settle in, listen closely, and discover the magic of making the invisible...visible." Today’s story is entitled, “The Magic of Authenticity.”
