Today, Stephynie is speaking with Bestselling Author, Keynote Speaker, Podcast Host, and Health Coach Amberly Lago. 

Amberly started her speaking career after her life was deeply altered and her world was completely changed in May 2010. While riding her motorcycle in Woodland Hills, CA, she was hit by an SUV and thrown thirty feet down a busy street. Her right leg took the brunt of the impact and was crushed almost beyond repair. 

After a lengthy hospital stay and 34 surgeries, doctors were able to fuse her leg together and repair her severed femoral artery despite the one percent odds of saving it and the initial recommendation to amputate. 

Today,  Amberly is on a mission to give back and has helped people all over the world with her resiliency training that has enabled thousands to regain their lives and existence by overcoming the obstacles and challenges that were holding them hostage previously

On this episode of Spin IT, they will look at just how Amberly was able to find the inner strength and courage to battle adversity one surgery at a time and ultimately find a way to Spin life in her direction and serve as an inspiration to all.
