Rise to the Challenge Podcast Episode

Episode #17 at Be-YOU-tiful Adaptive Warrior podcast.
This is my first ever video recorded episode. Wanted to give it a try and see what y’all think.
Today I talk about the reality of being an amputee and pushing through the tough moments and finding ways to challenge yourself so you can rise and live the life you want to live, with nothing holding you back.
Mindset, goal setting and finding distractions to help through painful days, and realizing that this moment is a phase that will come and go is an important point to come to terms with. Life is about the journey, and amputation is a part of that journey for me and many others.
Virtual races helped me gain perspective and overcome the obstacle of wearing a prosthetic everyday. I learned to walk again, quickly, and then strengthen my residual limb just by challenging myself to virtual races. To date, I have 19 races I have completed since my amputation. And many more on the horizon.
Challenging yourself is an amazing way to increase tolerance for prosthetic usage and also gain physical, mental, and emotional health/strength.
