S2E59 with guest Mandy Salas (@Im.MandySalas)

In the weekly Thursday edition of the TyePod, Mandy Salas joins me to share her story as resilience advocate living with quadriplegia. We chat about her journey adapting to a new life, processing grief, and being a wife and mother. One thing that stayed with me following our discussion is the relationship between Mandy and her former host family in Argentina who lost a loved one and the same accident that caused her injuries. In my opinion it shows how important it is to help one one another in times of grief and healing.👉 Follow Mandy on Instagram at @Im.MandySalas!✨ Next time on The TyePod I am joined by Jesse Bascle (@TheNolaRolla) who is a New Orleans food aficionado!🎧 Tune in via the link in my bio, or search The TyePod on Spotify or YouTube!💬 If this story resonates with you, or you’d like to share your own, please reach out!With love,Your friendly neighborhood PhDPodcast cover for The Tye Pod Episode S2E59 titled “I spoke on my life day.” The image shows a peaceful autumn field with trees in golden light and a partly cloudy sky.
