Today's episode is a shocking survival story! Host, Brittany Racine is sitting down with my longtime friend Courtney Wilkin to talk about the car accident that changed her life forever when she was just 17 years old. From being airlifted after a devastating rollover crash, to losing her leg, surviving over two dozen surgeries, learning how to walk again, becoming a mom, and now helping other amputees through prosthetics and advocacy — her story is unbelievable, inspiring, hilarious at times, and deeply human.
But what makes Courtney so special isn't just what she survived, it's who she became because of it. She has this incredible spirit that naturally makes people feel seen, comfortable, accepted, and understood. Through her humor, honesty, resilience, and vulnerability, she's using her story to remind people to lead with kindness, stop judging what they don't understand, and learn how to truly accept themselves and others.
We talk about everything from phantom pains, awkward questions from strangers, and wild college stories… to resilience, identity, motherhood, mindset, and finding purpose in the hardest moments of life.
This episode is raw, emotional, funny, inspiring, and full of perspective.
