Have you ever looked at old photos and thought, “I wish I was still her…”?

In this episode, we’re having a real talk about something so many amputee women wrestle with—comparing yourself to the version of you before limb loss, or before everything changed.

I’m opening up about my own journey with this—how I used to write with my toes in school, and how I eventually taught myself to write using a cuff instead. It wasn’t easy. But it taught me something powerful:

🌱 Growth isn’t about going back. It’s about becoming.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why it’s so tempting to compare yourself to the “old” you

• A story about learning to write again—and how that moment shifted everything

• How to start embracing who you are now without erasing who you were

• Why your identity is not limited to what you used to be able to do

🎧 Tune in for a soft reminder that you are not behind—you’re becoming something beautiful, right here and now.
