Fingers Amputee Jeff Soelberg on “Giving a Hand” after traumatic experiences

Jeff Soelberg lost three fingers in a harrowing work accident in 2016, but he has not allowed the amputation to hold him back in life. He has undergone nine surgeries and multiple prosthetics institutions and has taken on the role of speaker, educator, author, and even “Amputee Grandpa” through the Jeff Giving A Hand Foundation. Jeff joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to emphasize the importance of resilience, empathy, and support systems in any traumatic experience. In his new book, “Pointed in the Right Direction: Your Guide Through the Challenges of Finger Amputation,” he hopes to reach even more people in need. 

Even though we live in challenging times, we can become ‘Relentlessly Resilient’ as we lean on and learn from one another’s experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie’s husband, Major Brent Taylor, was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.
