In this episode of UNIQUELY YOU Podcast, we sit down with Donna Campsi to discuss how she went from Mystery Girl to Miracle Girl.

Donna's story is of a seven-year-old girl who survived a stroke, and her journey, as a woman, to learn to run again. Donna’s story is a miraculous one about strength, overcoming struggles and achieving results that even shocked doctors.

Donna shares her experience with illness, the impact of her childhood hospitalisations and the value of the support she received from those around her. ‘Your cheer squad, or whatever you want to call it, is needed to get through all situations in our lives’ says Donna, ‘I wouldn’t be who I am today without them.’

2012 is where Donna’s stroke-to-marathon challenge began. She now is a speaker and author and has been inspiring others to reach their goals. ‘Your why is so important' says Donna. She gives us her tips for motivation and, how to keep moving forward with our goals. She says, ‘rather than asking yourself, ‘Can I do this?’ asking yourself, ‘How can I do this?’ the difference is the mindset.’ There is always a way to do something if it is something you really want to do.

 

Fighting any battle, whether is physical or mental, requires us to take the first step. ‘No one else can do the action for you’ says Donna. There is an opportunity for growth in the midst of hardship. Focus on your strengths ‘and be grateful for the steps you have taken. Rest in it and celebrate it.’  

So, sit back and enjoy this episode as Donna Campsi shares how to be UNIQUELY YOU.
