Traveling With Confidence as an Amputee
What if every new thing you accomplished earned you another stamp-not just in your travel passport, but in your confidence passport?
Solo flight to Chicago, O’Hare
Travel has always been a big part of my family’s life, but traveling as an amputee has been an evolving journey. Seven years into life as an ...
Advocate and Rise
What happens when the people responsible for helping you move forward stop listening? You learn how powerful your own voice can become.
In this episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I step back from the idea of constantly pushing forward to talk about one of the most important skills every amputee must develop: advocating for yourself.
Self-advocacy has been a major part of my jo...
Building a New Version of Normal
What happens when the life you want to return to no longer works the way you remember it?
After amputation, we are often told that we can get back to doing the things we love, and I believe that is true. But I have learned that those activities may look, feel, and function differently than they did before. Recovery is not always about returning to the person ...
Learning When to Push and When to Recover
Have you ever started making progress with your fitness, only to be stopped by skin irritation, socket discomfort, phantom pain, fatigue, or an injury?

Feeling Alone After Amputation? Why Community Is Part of Healing
Have you ever felt completely alone—even while surrounded by people who love you?
For many amputees, loneliness isn’t about the absence of family or friends. It’s about carrying a journey that very few people truly understand. In this heartfelt episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I share an honest conversation ab...
Understanding the Types, Triggers, and Coping Strategies
What if the most intense pain you’ve ever felt came from a part of your body that no longer exists?
As an above-knee amputee, phantom pain is one of the most difficult parts of my journey to explain. It’s invisible. It’s unpredictable. And unless you’ve experienced it yourself, it’s almost impossible to ful...
Reclaiming Independence
What if the thing holding you back isn’t the possibility of falling, but the fear of what happens if you do?
As amputees, we talk a lot about mobility, prosthetics, and recovery. But there is one challenge that often doesn’t get enough attention: the fear of falling.
In this week’s episode of BAWarrior Podcast, I share my own experiences as an above-kn...
Join the Movement for Above Knee Amputees
What if joining the movement means becoming part of the future of amputee care?

This conversation...
What I Wish Every New Amputee Knew
Seven years ago, I made one of the hardest decisions of my life: to amputate my leg. Looking back now, I can honestly say that journey has taught me more about life, resilience, and myself than I ever could have imagined.
In this episode, I share seven of the biggest lessons I’ve learned through seven years of living as an above-knee amputee. These less...
Rewriting Your Mindset After Loss
What happens when something you spent years building disappears in a single moment?
In this deeply personal episode of BAWarrior Podcast, I open up about the emotional aftermath of being massively hacked on social media and losing access to over twenty years of connection, community, memories, and support systems I had built through Facebook. What started as...

Limbs For Humanity: Restoring Hope One Leg at a Time
In this powerful and perspective-shifting episode of Be a Warrior Podcast, I sit down with two men who have not only walked alongside me in my own journey as prosthetists, but who have also chosen to step far beyond the walls of their profession to answer a much bigger calling. Randy and David, co-founders of Limbs for Humanity, join me to ...
Faith Fueled Resilience: Abri Bentley’s Story
There are moments in life when everything slows down just enough for you to hear what truly matters. This episode was one of those moments for me.

A Daughter and Mother’s Story of Resilience

Finding Joy in Chronic Pain
What happens when the warrior you planned to interview is not quite ready to speak, but her story still needs to be heard? Sometimes the bravest thing we can do is pivot, honor the moment, and make space for healing.
This week’s episode was deeply special to me because it was a beautiful reminder that not every story unfolds the way we expect it to. I ha...

Life Behind the Numbers of Amputees and Limb Difference
April is Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month, and this year on the podcast, I’m doing something that means so much to me.
