Ten years ago, I was at a place I’d fought to be for a lot of my life. I was living independently, I had autonomy, and my days had a typical rhythm. And over a short period of time, it all changed. 

My ability to walk grew more and more limited, I started having falls, and my apartment wasn’t accessible for the mobility scooter I came to rely on. I knew I needed a new living situation that could accommodate my new normal, but all of the unknowns were daunting. I didn’t want to lose the autonomy and self-determination I’d fought so hard for.

In celebration of my 57th birthday, I’m reflecting on how I faced the challenges of adjusting to physical changes and new needs, going through grief, and writing the next chapter.

Listen to the full episode to hear:

• How I came out the other side of depression and grief with a new perspective on the opportunity that change can present
• How thinking like a leader helped me reorganize my life and become even better than before
• How surrounding myself with a great team supports me in being a more effective leader
• Why having limitations doesn’t mean you can’t make bold choices
