This is one of the videos in life which teaches us that no matter what we think we are facing, we should always be grateful. This is a lady that went through thick and thin, but look at her!...I love the way she smiles. You are a wonderful lady and an inspiration to all.

[@FeelGoodWithin]

Earth needs more people like her and thats a fact! Plain and simple

[@hajoung2647]

Whenever I’m struggling, I come back to this video, Which makes me move on.

[@focusongrowth4755]

She’s my favorite athlete. Then I learned what an incredible person she is!!! One of the most inspiring, for sure.

[@lisafaithful3787]

As much as she didn’t cry, I did throughout watching this episode...It is super moving, it is unbelievable...it is going to all make sense at the end!

[@tesitad]

Absolutely fantastic interview. Chills, tears and super inspiration. Thanks for having her share her story Lewis.

[@juliabarker8752]

I am a person who has fears of everything she experienced. A lot of this was hard for me to hear but her story is so inspiring that I had to keep listening. Amazing interview.

[@saudamusic]

So inspiring! I love Amy Purdy! Thank you for a great show!

[@sweetmason1]

1:03:31 So much admiration in Lewis' eyes!

[@johnmendoza5907]

Beautiful interview. U bring on the most inspirational people in your show. Thank you Lewis for sharing these stories with us.

[@jasnajulija]

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this courageous girl 💖🙏 This is one of the best interviews ever! Thank you Lewis! I am so inspired and thankful 🌟

[@194ellu]

That was incredible! Especially the ending. The way Amy just nailed all the answers to your questions. That girl REALLY does have it all figured out! I'm in awe. Damn. What a great video that was 👏👌❤️ Thank you, Lewis, for that. 🙏

[@EntrepreneursonBikes]

Beautiful inside and out

[@JessicaPradoHanson]

Lewis and Amy THANK YOU! I really needed this today. Last week my ex was sentenced for beating me unconscious in my family home that he was living in for free. I'm in the middle of more testing because my doctors believe I have trauma induced MS from my other ex (& him) who broke into my apartment after I dumped her by pushing the air conditioner in which hit me on the head. For years I was in denial of how bad my health was and just tried to push through. I ended up still having to move in with my parents- he pretended to care and wanted to "help" me. But really ended up almost killing me from his abuse. Last week in court it was surreal- now I just want to find a way to start my life again. After watching this it really helped me, I don't think I will ever be snowboarding again (I was never that great anyways lol) but I want to start up my KZbin channel again TODAY. Not next week or later. I've been depressed for too many months. Thank you!! I ❤️❤️❤️ everything about this!

[@emmamorton-turner8172]

You can do it. Onwards and upwards. xxxxx

[@tonicagriffin]

Hugs and blessings to you, Jessica! You are brave!

[@JessicaPradoHanson]

Thank you so much! I am doing better and I started making videos on my channel about my journey which has been sooooo theraputic. Connecting with others as we are on our healing journey is such a beautiful thing beyond words! ❤️

[@charliebrown9078]

I loved this interview she is so insperational

[@yunchoi9977]

thank you for sharing Amy's story. Her story definitely inspired me. Thank you very much!

[@miagraceespiritu8511]

Very inspiring! I totally agree with her, all things will make sense in the end. Always see the positive view in any situation. She is so pretty inside and out. Thank you Lewis as always. 😇😇😇

[@arok282]

Thanks a lot to both of you for genuinley connecting with people's hearts. This talk is one of my hands down favorites ever. It's filled with contagious light and strength beyond words. Kudos!

[@nellier5704]

Amy thanks for sharing your story. Good job Lewis 🙌.

[@brauliodeltoro6722]

So inspiring...I love her. Thank you for sharing her amazing history.

[@shhivikachauhan4695]

She is definitely inspirational!! Thank you for the interview, Lewis.

[@LifeEternal]

Hadn't came across Amy before watching this podcast, her story is so inspiring and proof that anything is possible when it comes to grit and determination for overcoming problems against all odds. Thanks man! Really interesting listen!

[@MarcYilmaz]

What an inspiration!

[@JovanaMiljanovic]

This is my favorite episode ever.

[@schneeroseful]

Just out of intetest: Is it still? There are changes in everyones life that could affect this opinion

[@JessicaPradoHanson]

Lewis you always bring the most amazing people on here thank you for doing all that you do. And Amy thank you for further inspiring me to tell my own story and share the truth of my experience and how I can overcome any emotional or physical issues I am having if I just do it. I've been really scared about facing MS, losing the ability to walk or move well has been really de estuarine for me and if you can face what you did then I can too! I decided while watching this I will be working on talking about my story starting now. ❤️

[@ramapublishing5]

I think the same. He always manages to bring the most amazing people on his show. It cannot even begin to imagine what she has been through

[@Fverheijden]

Thank you for sharing this. It did something very valuable for me. Actually I found confidence while watching this. I have severe chronic fatigue and severe trauma and so much fear. And have low confidence but I am so strong. I am following my dreams despite of all fear very low energy and low confidence. Nothing stops me anymore. I learned I can do everything I want. I just have to do it. Despite and because of everything. And by seeing her and appreciating here and seeing myself in her something clicked in my mind. And now I want to tell my story more and become an example.

[@Fverheijden]

I will!

[@reghanb5766]

Literally one of the best videos I've seen. Thank you for giving such high quality content. Very eye opening ❤️

[@reghanb5766]

Lewis Howes I'd love to see a video on how you got more well known on KZbin and throughout your industry and getting started, etc. Very inspiring. Thank you again!! 🌼

[@acdc73034]

This was awesome.

[@ezimonteiro08]

This was amazing! I have to say that I was feeling down for a few reasons, but now I have all the motivation I needed to continue! THANK YOU BOTH for being awesome people and sharing so much to the World! :)

[@123Iamawesome321]

@1:19 That day where they come speak on the same stage did come!!!

[@massageman318]

This was awesome Lewis! I first learned about Amy on Dancing with the Stars and I've loved her ever since, I find her very inspiring. Thanks for the great interview 😊👍🏻

[@janaeunger1462]

So good! I loved this.

[@rachelerachichi_deedavis1883]

What an amazing story! At the age of 15, I contracted meningitis, mine was viral spinal meningitis though, but such an interesting perspective to hear another person talk about their experience Thankfully, mine was not nearly this severe. What a wonderful story she has of overcoming such an ordeal!

[@MA-yc7pz]

She is so pretty

[@AvaCarmichael]

Despite the opening "$25,000 monetary loss comments", I enjoyed her and this interview a lot. Amy needs to tell "that" part of the story' more. 'THAT' dark space with the light, the guides! THAT'S the pearls...and what the world needs the most.

[@celsovascon6108]

She is a Diva........thanks for paralympics ppenning

[@nehemiah7914]

About that supernatural experience she had: Interestingly enough in Oriental spirituality green is the color of the heart chakra, which is the center of love, I find that really fascinating that she said she believed in love right before she had that experience. Also, doctors know that when the conscious mind is out, the unconscious becomes superactive, it's like being in a super heightened state of hypnosis, and so they know they can directly talk to the subconscious of their patients when they're under. It's gotta make you wonder about what consciousness is and what we're actually made of eh?

[@JakeRichardsong]

When Mel Blanc was unconscious in a hospital bed after a nearly fatal car crash, the doctor mentioned bugs bunny and I think Mel responded as bugs bunny,

[@JJ-yu6og]

Amy Purdy has the most loving father mother sister and extended family....i think it is unfair to call her the most inspirational person because there are millions of women who are amazingly inspirational who don't do it for a brand or business!!!

[@jonasmilton4928]

Jojo Jo coming from her extended family (me) she does not do it for her business, her NON PROFIT organization, she started that business when she was poor living from pay check to pay check, she does not do it for a business she does it help and show other people with disabilities how to have fun. She may not be the most inspiring person in the world in your opinion but she does not do it for a business she does it to help others like her fun. -have a nice day

[@germanmendiola3298]

That was amazing man!!! thanks for sharing!!

[@galkin2008]

Amazing interview!!!!

[@abigailnadaner4288]

you should try to interview derek hough! that would be really cool! He is so motivating!

[@LRvTv]

fascinating episode

[@lamiseelbetar2579]

Great video.. great person.. Amy

[@timslu2826]

Wow....All I can say. Thanks!

[@melgaudart]

Holy crap, Lewis, her description of nearly dying was crazy vivid, nice job remaining composed, continuing with the interview & bringing the story out of her. Step by step description in full detail of losing her spleen, legs & how to recover from it... surreal & extraordinary interview. No wonder she pipped you for $25,000.

[@sabkasdareaza9887]

what a beautiful amazing girl

[@yuniee100]

Hello! I really want to share this video to my mother, but this video is not able to turn on caption or subtitle. Because my mother does not speak English very well, so she needs some kind of subtitle to follow with. Could you please turn on the caption, so my mother also can watch this video? Thank you very much!

[@prodogracingkennel8891]

Amazing and beyond inspiring. Thank you for sharing but oh my gosh, Lewis, you have to come to Alaska to visit. Your survival mode, gotta eat a bunny rabbit, grab a salmon and eat it beast mode had me giggling. Let me know if you want to visit and eat lots of beast mode meals. :)

[@dagnypart2]

24:00 WOW!

[@stylistcamilla]

Love it😊👍🏻💕

[@goovialisticprofunks]

She’s lucky she wasn’t in Canada with her condition. She would have put on the typical LONG wait list and would not have survived. She’s also lucky she had the SUPPORT and the FUNDS to save her life and become this amazing beautiful person inside and out.

[@evelien2002]

Girl ❤

[@brendanalbertson9462]

1:12:43

[@claireslattery7]

She is wonderful❤️ he going " o my gosh" every second is not only annoying but insensitive.

[@marlynweightloss7917]

I agree 100% with that... made her uncomfortable all the time. Even I was feeling super uncomfortable with all that OMG OMG like she was telling a horror movie and he wanted to know what's next. Did't you realize she was opening he heart about a difficult moment in her life? It was not a Movie!!!

[@molomosk123]

I didnt get this Vibe at all - it just seemed like an honest reaction. Most people would be in shock

[@casualjules1]

I think you should give Lewis a break. He's doing us all a wonderful service. Give credit to the people who actually put themselves out there and create these platforms of progress and possibility. I would love to start a KZbin channel, but don't have all the tech resources that Lewis does, and has taken the trouble to source.

[@myopinions1]

The other kind of meningitis is viral which I had with over a 103.5 fever and needed to stay in the dark and isolated in a room that only parents could come in in full gear.

[@marlynweightloss7917]

Love the story and how she overcame the challenges. I just think you made him feel uncomfortable many times saying OMG OMG after everything she said, specially when she was talking about her blue feet and then having to cut his legs. You definitely didn't make it easier for her. You make her feel uncomfortable all the time to the point that she even said this story is not for people who cannot stand blood or surgeries (or something similar)... and you didn't get it and continue making everything more stressful for her.... sorry but I have to say it.

[@pambennett8967]

25,000$? I hope you donate it. Money is a waste of energy I think if should be abolished And we all treat each other like. Family

[@yasmindelavega888]

Lewis' reaction all along is that of a 12 year old. Seriously embarrassing and annoying!
