063 She Fell 2 Feet… and Everything Changed | Rebecca Critchfield

There are moments that don’t look like much from the outside. Two feet. A small shift. A single second. And then everything changes. Rebecca Critchfield was a full-time skydiver for over a decade, with more than 7,000 jumps. One unexpected moment in the air resulted in a spinal cord injury that completely altered her life. In this conversation, she shares what it actually looks like to rebuild — not just physically, but emotionally and relationally. We talk about: What people get wrong about disability and fragility Learning how to ask for and receive help Grief, identity, and becoming someone new The quiet strength required to keep showing up Why community matters more than independence There’s no performance here. Just honesty, humor, and a perspective that stays with you. If something in this episode lands, pass it along to someone who might need it.
