Episode #51 – Determination, Humility, and Choice Can Change Your Life with Katie S.


Katie’s story is one of determination and perseverance.  The fact that she was able to sit down with me and record this podcast is nothing short of a miracle.  Katie shares how she recovered from a life changing injury and how leveraging her values of determination, humbleness, and the power to choose can help you move through challenging circumstances so you can “live to be alive”.

Bio

Katie S. was a former teacher with experience in Head Start, Special Education, and Faith Based programs. She had her whole life going for her until in 2013 everything changed in an instant. That is when Katie had a life changing injury that left her in a wheelchair.  A former ice dancer, runner, and person who loved to dance her whole world was swept away. She fought her way out once, only to find herself back in it shortly later.  She lost her speech most days and was left unable to talk.  Katie was told that she would just have to learn to live like this.

Today she is living a different life and she is here today to share her story and inspire you to know that anything in life is possible. There is always hope.

    For you and me: different life battles but a lot of similarities. Im so happy I’ve met you. I think there’s a reason I couldn’t listen until now, because today was the day I needed to hear ALL of this. Thank you.
