Whitney Lavender: From Bilateral Amputee to Ms. Wheelchair Texas.

Perspective and Persistence – My Guest, Whitney Lavender, From Bilateral Amputee to Ms. Wheelchair Texas. “The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your perspective.” It is no secret that some folks are dealt a bad hand in their youth.  When we are born into this world we can’t control who our parents are and how they will treat us.  For some, having a difficult childhood will set them up for eventual failure in life as an adult.  It is common to pass on from one generation to the next, our upbringing and experiences. However, sometimes that tough childhood is preparing you for the trials and tribulations you will face as an adult.  My guest this week, Ms. Lavender, shares how growing up with an abusive mother conditioned her to be both mentally and physically tough. Her mother left the family when she was still a kid and when her father was diagnosed with cancer she had to take on the role of the head of the house and got her hardship license to drive at the age of 14.  Caring for her sick father and her younger brother was actually easy in comparison to dealing with her abusive mother. You will need to tune in to hear how Whitney battles through two abusive husbands, losing her father to cancer after a 16 year battle, and then in 2018 she receives a diagnosis that changes her life forever when she slips down some stairs injuring her leg.  After several months of seeing doctors and getting a myriad of treatments that never helped, she was diagnosed with a very rare disease know as, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. If you are looking for  a story that will give hope and inspiration to just keep going, then look no further.  Ms. Whitney is the epitome of never quit, never give up!
