S2 EP13: Lindsay's Story - I Stepped On A Nail And Lost My Leg
Buckle up for this one, its a really amazing, and extraordinary story of courage, will power, and total inspiration. Lindsay had a very rare underlying illness, CMT Disease, that meant she had weakened sensations in her feet, and so she couldn't feel the pain of an infection caused by a nail she had stepped on, one day while walking. Over many weeks, she became very ill, and very weak, and doctors simply couldn't find what was wrong with her until it was too late. Eventually, on realizing the spreading infection could kill her, they took steps to amputate. Lindsay is a beacon of hope for those who are living life after limb loss, and even has a coaching business, helping other limb loss survivors and other medical trauma survivors, by building hope and resilience and practicing mindfulness and wellbeing. Simply amazing!

S2 EP14: Niki's Story - Childhood Trauma, Domestic Violence, and Eating!
In one of the most raw, honest and powerful episodes yet, Niki Sibera tells us about her harrowing childhood as she witnessed her father use physical violence against her mother on a regular basis. She realized that if she intervened, he would stop. But it would continue to happen until her and her mother finally escaped. The story gets even more traumatic, when her mother dies of cancer when she is just 14. Niki discusses how underlying trauma would lead to over-eating and a loss of direction and self worth. This is not, however, just about Niki's traumatic past, as with all of our episodes, we focus on the recovery, and the rise out of the darkness. With time and healing, Niki began to flourish. It's an incredible story of self discovery, and an uplifting and powerful message of triumph over trauma!!
