Are you ready to be inspired by a story of resilience and the power of love? We have the pleasure of hosting Meredith Carter, a woman who at the age of 14, faced a life-changing accident that left her with a severe spinal cord injury. Despite the challenges, she emerged with an unbroken spirit and an extraordinary tale of survival.
In a riveting conversation, Meredith transports us back to the summer of 1997, to the moment that changed her life forever. She recounts the details of the accident and the arduous, yet enlightening journey of her recovery - from multiple surgeries to the grueling rehabilitation. We also hear about the unwavering support network of loved ones, particularly Wes, her partner of 7 years. From meeting Wes to starting a business together and finally tying the knot in 2017 - it’s a testament to the power of love and faith in the face of adversity.
But Meredith’s story doesn't end there. She shares her reality of living in the chair for a while and shares her insights of living with a disability for the past 26 years. From the importance of normalcy and respect to her and Wes’s shared experiences - it’s a heartwarming tale that underscores the value of acceptance, kindness, and giving each other an awesome life. Tune in for an episode filled with determination, love, and life lessons that will impact your life for the better.
