In this episode, we meet Maggie Parker—a lifelong adventurer whose passion for motorcycle travel took her across North America until a devastating accident in 2019 changed everything. After being airlifted to hospital, placed in a coma, and enduring extensive trauma, Maggie ultimately underwent a below-the-knee amputation. But that wasn’t the end of her journey—it was the beginning of a new one.
Host Kevin Gray sits down with Maggie to talk about how she’s rebuilt her life after limb loss. From phantom pain to prosthetics, mental health to setting small goals, Maggie opens up about the challenges of recovery and the resilience it takes to move forward. She shares how adaptive technology helps her navigate everyday life, how she’s found strength in community, and why she’s determined to return to the open road.
This is a powerful conversation about identity, adaptation, and reclaiming your independence—even when the road ahead looks completely different. Maggie’s story will resonate with anyone facing change, uncertainty, or a new beginning.
