Finding Hope Beyond the Pivot
Part Five of My Pivoting Series
In this final episode of my Pivoting series, I’m sharing the reminder I’ve had to learn again and again: the road forward may look different, but it can still be meaningful, beautiful, and full of possibility.
Life changes for all of us. We can make the best plans, prepare for every scenario, and still find ourselves fac...
Honoring What Was, Before Reimagining What’s Next
What if moving forward requires us to first acknowledge what we have lost?
In Part Four of my five-part series on pivoting, I’m exploring a side of change that we don’t talk about enough: grief. We often celebrate the courage it takes to pivot, rebuild, and begin again, but every new direction may also require us to release th...
How to Adapt When Life, and Travel, Don’t Go as Planned
What do you do when you have prepared for everything, and life still throws you a curveball?
In this episode of BAWarrior Podcast, I’m continuing our Pivoting series with one of the most personal lessons I learned from international travel as an above-knee amputee: preparation matters, but adaptability is what carries us thro...
Power of the Pivot: Part 2 of 5
Sometimes the hardest part of a setback is not the pain itself, it is realizing that the plan you were so ready to chase suddenly cannot happen the way you imagined. In Part Two of my pivoting series on the BAWarrior Podcast, I share what I am learning in real time after pulling a muscle in my residual limb just as I set a new fall goal: one million steps by Dec...
When Your Body Changes the Plan
What if pulling back is not weakness, but the very thing that keeps you moving forward?
In this episode of BAWarrior Podcast, I’m opening a new five-part series called The Power of the Pivot. This first conversation is about one of the hardest pivots for me personally: when my body says, “I’m done,” even when my mind still wants to push ...
From Phantom Pain to Freedom Walking Paris Streets
What happens when the prosthetic leg you depend on suddenly will not charge-thousands of miles from home?
In this episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I’m sharing the honest story of my first international trip as an amputee. Returning to Paris carried special meaning for me because my previous trip there in 2018 ultimately led to my decis...
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? As an above-knee amputee who loves working out, hiking, skiing, and staying active, I understand how frustrating it can feel when your body suddenly forces you to pull back.
In this episode of the B...
One Step at a Time: The Power of Small Steps Toward Big Goals
Have you ever looked at a goal and felt overwhelmed before you even started? Whether you’re learning to walk with a prosthetic, chasing a lifelong dream, beginning a new career, or simply trying to make it through a difficult season, sometimes the destination feels impossible. In this episode, ...
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?
In this episode of the BAWarrior Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Jake and Hiva, two PhD students from the University of Michigan, who are working on research that could help shape the future of prosthetic technology for above-knee amputees.
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...
