Episode 38: Raising a Limb-Different Daughter: Strength, Love, and Becoming

There are parts of your story you’ll never fully remember.Not because they didn’t matter… but because someone else was carrying them for you.In this deeply personal and emotional episode, I sit down with my mom, Marti, to revisit the very beginning — the moments surrounding my birth, the decision that would shape my life, and the journey of raising a limb-different daughter.Because every story has layers.And some of those layers were lived, held, and carried by the people who loved us… long before we had the words to understand what was happening.Through this heartfelt conversation, Marti shares what those early days were really like — the emotions, the uncertainty, the strength it took to navigate the unknown, and the quiet moments where love and resilience were built in real time.This episode offers a rare and powerful perspective — not just from the person living the story, but from the one who walked beside it from the very beginning.In this episode, we explore:🌿 what those first moments were like from a mother’s perspective 🌿 the emotional and mental journey of raising a limb-different child 🌿 the unseen strength it takes to navigate uncertainty as a parent 🌿 moments of growth, confidence, and becoming over time 🌿 how identity is shaped not just by experience, but by love and support 🌿 the connection between a parent’s strength and a child’s resilienceThere’s something powerful about hearing your story through someone else’s eyes.It reminds you that you didn’t become who you are on your own.You were shaped.
