In this episode, I sit down with Amy Purdy to talk about how she went from losing her legs at 19 and losing hope, to becoming a Paralympic medalist, bestselling author, and global speaker.
Amy shares what actually helped her move from survival to purpose. Not motivational slogans, but the mindset shifts, habits, and mental tools that allowed her to rebuild her identity, regain belief in herself, and move forward when her old life was gone.
We talk about how she turned her biggest obstacle into her biggest advantage, why acceptance is a turning point rather than a defeat, and how visualization helped retrain her brain to see possibility before there was evidence. Amy also breaks down practical ways to build resilience, take action even when you feel uncertain, and stop letting fear define what you think is possible.
In this episode, you will learn how to:
✅ Go from feeling stuck in loss or uncertainty to creating forward momentum
✅ Use acceptance without giving up on your goals
✅ Reframe adversity so it becomes fuel instead of a limitation
✅ Build resilience through gratitude, creativity, and action
✅ Train your mind to believe in new outcomes before you know how they will happen
If you are feeling overwhelmed by a setback, questioning who you are after a major change, or struggling to believe that something good can still come from what you are going through, this episode will help you shift your perspective and give you practical tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.
This conversation is about what’s possible when you stop trying to go back to who you were and start building who you can become.
