WHEN YOU ARE SO USED TO ADAPTING THE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS NOT ALWAYS CLEAR ​Sometimes I get so used to modifying every single movement that I completely overcomplicate things. ​This is a little look into my reality of troubleshooting at the gym. When you are constantly adapting the first thing that

​$100K BIONIC VS $20 DIY STRAP ​For some things the high tech bionic arm is amazing. But when I am in the gym lifting heavy my $20 handy dandy yoga belt and ankle strap setup wins every time. ​The difference is the weight distribution. When I am wearing this I can feel the weight all the way thro

This month, I’m taking you along for a 4-week progressive overload journey. The goal: Get stronger. The method: Creativity. Being an adaptive athlete means sometimes the equipment doesn't exist yet…so you have to build it. Check out how I’m using a yoga strap hack to mimic my forearm length so I ca

#ad I was born with one hand, but I’ve never let that slow me down, especially not at home. Setting up my space with smart home devices paired with Alexa+ wasn’t just about tech. It was about creating an Alexa+ home that works with me. Now I can turn on lights, check the front door, start my rela

ITS BEEN A MINUTE since I shared gym content but I want to get back into it. Not sure if this type of content is boring but its my authentic experience 🩶. Upping the weight on certain workouts can feel risky but thankyfully i have my prosthetic to help with my balance . #gymmotivation #gymlifesty

Who really wants to be just normal. I realize that my version is something the world needs to see. - My body moves differently, but it’s mine - My difference doesn’t define me, it highlights me - And I wouldn’t trade it for anything Normal is just a word. How do you define yourself? #amput

Is it still considered clapping if I use my limb difference? #amputee

Sometimes when I’m out and about, a stranger will ask me, “What happened?” And the truth is, there isn’t always an easy answer. Some days I don’t feel like explaining. Other days, I’d rather just enjoy my coffee, my workout, or whatever moment I’m in. Having a disability doesn’t mean I owe anyon

Prosthetics can be pretty useful… Too bad I never wear mine in my everyday life 😅 #prostheticuser #amputee

I took one ballet class in my life that scarred me so deeply I never went back. The kind of class where I was made to feel like I didn’t belong and not just because of how I moved, but because of who I am. The quiet stings of racism and ableism were loud enough to echo for years. But this year,

I think my bionic has a mind of its own… and is that a bug?!! #amputee
