43: The Day My Life Changed Forever + How Gratitude Saved My Life

This week is my “Alive Day”. It’s the day my family and I celebrate because it’s not only the day my life changed forever, but it’s more importantly the day I got a second chance at life. In this episode of Bouncing Forward, I share exactly what that day was like for me: from living my regular day-to-day life to being told I only have 2 hours left to live. I also share the number one thing that helped me not give up when I lost the life I knew, and that one thing was gratitude. Plus, I share how I find gratitude in my darkest moments and how you can cultivate it too when you need it most.

After losing both my legs at the age of 19 I bounced forward to become a 3-time Paralympic medalist, one of Oprah’s top 100 thought leaders, a New York Times best-selling author, a Dancing with the Stars runner up, and a world-renown motivational speaker. I’m here to challenge you with one thing: How can you use your current situation to get ahead? How can you not just survive the challenges you are facing but actually thrive because of them. After all, it's not about bouncing back to who we once were, it's about bouncing forward to all that we can be.
