Bethany (Hamilton) Dirks and her husband, Adam, join Sadie for an uplifting and hopeful conversation about facing fears, dealing with trauma, and understanding how every trial and hardship has a purpose. Adam and Bethany share how they met—and how Bethany sometimes preferred surfing big waves to spending time with her then-boyfriend. Bethany admits she hated being famous, and she and Sadie discover that they both wrote books hoping they would never have to talk about their stories again—only to find that the exact opposite happened. Bethany explains that talking about the worst day of her life—when a shark attacked her, and she lost her arm—was perhaps the best thing for her in processing the horrific trauma. Sadie asks Bethany how she was able to face her fear of sharks and return to the water. Bethany encourages everyone to face their fears—just do it! Then, Adam and Bethany share some behind-the-scenes details about their season on The Amazing Race (Season 25) and how they almost didn't make the initial cut!
