Show Notes

In this episode of Energy in Action, host Marcy Young sits down with sisters Jacqueline and Alexa Child, co-founders of Dateability, the first dating app designed for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses. Together, they share the story of how personal experiences with rejection, stigma, and chronic illness inspired them to create a safe, inclusive platform for connection.

Jacqueline opens up about her journey with chronic illness and how traditional dating apps fell short in addressing the realities of dating with a disability. Alexa reflects on their mission to bring dating back to its roots—fostering meaningful, authentic connections without judgment. From launching the app with no prior tech experience to gaining national media recognition, the sisters explain how Dateability is transforming lives and breaking down societal stigmas.

Whether you’re looking for love, friendship, or community, this episode will inspire you to explore Dateability and celebrate the movement it represents.
