Could you imagine waking up without being able to see? Or talk?
In this episode, I interview Kijuan Amey, who was in a serious motorcycle accident that left him hospitalized and unable to see, talk, or walk.
We dive deep into the raw reality of recovery: the mindset, the struggle, and what it really takes to rebuild—physically and mentally—after everything changes.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How the school system failed him, but he pivoted
- How he got into the Air Force
- The one motorcycle ride that changed his life forever
- Waking up without being able to see or speak
- The shift from “Why me” to “Why not me”
- How he brought positivity and excitement to his occupational therapy
- His new exciting ambition of public speaking competitions
This one is vulnerable, powerful, and packed with real-life insight for anyone who's ever had to start over.
