Episode 39: When Everything Changes: Finding Out You Need an Amputation


Listen Later

There are moments in life that change everything.

Sometimes you remember them clearly.

Sometimes you don’t remember them at all.

But that doesn’t mean they didn’t shape you.

In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal part of my story — the moment my life changed forever, even though I was too young to understand it at the time.

Because my journey with amputation didn’t begin with a memory.

It began at three days old.

And while I didn’t experience fear or awareness in the way we often think about it… that moment still shaped my life, my identity, and the path I would grow into.

This episode is about what happens when everything changes — whether you remember it or not — and what it looks like to slowly come into acceptance over time.

Because acceptance isn’t a one-time decision.

It’s something that unfolds in layers.

In this episode, we explore:

🌿 what it means to experience a life-changing moment without remembering it

🌿 how your body and nervous system can hold experiences beyond memory

🌿 the layered nature of acceptance across different stages of life

🌿 how identity shifts after amputation — no matter when it happens

🌿 why acceptance isn’t linear and doesn’t follow a timeline

🌿 the difference between forcing acceptance and allowing it to unfold

Whether your amputation happened recently or years ago…

whether it came with warning or happened suddenly…

this episode is a reminder that there is no “right” way to process something that changes your life.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You don’t have to rush yourself toward peace.

You’re allowed to move through this in your own time.

Acceptance doesn’t happen all at once.

It happens slowly…

layer by layer…

as you grow into your life.

And wherever you are right now…

you’re not behind.

You’re becoming. 💛
