How to Build Resilience: From Wheelchair to Bestseller with Amberly Lago
Welcome to the Triple P Life Podcast!
In this episode, Dr. Jay LaGuardia welcomes Amberly Lago, the author of the USA Today bestselling books "True Grit and Grace" and "Joy through the Journey," to discuss her incredible journey of overcoming adversity and finding resilience. Amberly shares her story of being hit by an SUV while riding her motorcycle, which left her with a shattered leg and a severed femoral artery. Despite facing a 1% chance of saving her leg and enduring 34 surgeries, Amberly refused to give up and fought to keep her leg and rebuild her life.
Main Takeaways:
Pain can be a powerful teacher, and there are ways to thrive and find joy despite experiencing physical, emotional, or financial pain.
Grit without connection leads to resistance, while grit with connection allows for true resilience.
Vulnerability can be a superpower, enabling deeper connections and support from others.
Mindset is crucial in overcoming adversity, and it's essential to consciously choose positivity and gratitude.
Surrounding yourself with positive, like-minded individuals can significantly impact your success and well-being.
Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting your perspective and finding joy in challenging circumstances.
Resilience is not about bouncing back to who you were before, but about adapting and growing through adversity.
Pursuing your purpose and passions can give you the strength to overcome even the toughest obstacles.
It's crucial to invest in yourself and attend events that fill your cup and connect you with inspiring individuals.
Never give up on your dreams, even if it takes time and perseverance to achieve them.
Amberly's story is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and the importance of connection in overcoming life's greatest challenges. Her journey from being bedridden and facing amputation to becoming a bestselling author and inspirational speaker is truly remarkable.
