What happens when hope begins to hurt more than it helps?

In this deeply personal episode, we explore the powerful moment when today’s guest faced a choice between chasing physical recovery and embracing life as it now was. After 19 months of intense physical therapy, the only movement left was a single, stubbornly wiggling big toe. That “big toe moment” became a symbol—of hope, yes, but also of surrender.

When she made the courageous decision to stop therapy, it wasn’t giving up. It was leaning in—into life as a paraplegic, into motherhood from a wheelchair, and into a redefined sense of purpose and possibility. This conversation isn’t just about paralysis; it’s about the freedom that can come from letting go of what was and making space for what can be.
