Everyone Has a Wheelchair - From Injury to Initiation... Saying Yes to Life with Sam Peterson

Episode 12: Everyone Has a Wheelchair - From Injury to Initiation... Saying Yes to Life with Sam Peterson What if your deepest wound held the seed of your Dharma? What if the thing that shattered you was the very thing that could set you free? In this soul-stirring conversation, Kenna Brooke sits with storyteller and seeker Sam Peterson — a man whose life was forever changed by a spinal cord injury in his early twenties. From the wreckage of that moment, a portal opened. What followed was not just physical paralysis, but an awakening into service, soul remembrance, and sacred surrender. Sam shares with rare vulnerability the grief he rushed past, the resistance he now welcomes, and the inner work of reclaiming the invisible medicine he carries. From plant medicine ceremonies to daily rituals of integration, his journey is a living testament to what it means to say yes to life — even when it breaks you open.
