About this episode
This week's episode is inspired by Amy Purdy. Amy's childhood and teen years were filled with fun and adventure. She was an incredible athlete and especially loved snowboarding. At the age of 19, Amy had a medical emergency caused by a bacterial infection. The doctors gave her a 2% chance to live, and had to remove her spleen and amputate both her legs below the knees. Her father also had to donate a kidney to give her a chance to survive. Needless to say, it was a very scary time for the Purdy family and life as Amy knew it would never be the same. In this episode, Eva shares Amy's analogy of how after this emergency, she made a decision to look at her life as a book where she would be the author of that book and write an incredible story. Which is exactly what she has done! Eva shares many of Amy's remarkable accomplishments, including winning Paralympic medals in snowboarding, being the runner-up on Dancing With The Stars, touring with Oprah, and becoming a New York Times best-selling author. Amy can inspire all Big Dreamers, especially those going through difficult times, to be the author of their own story. Thank you Amy for inspiring millions and now all the Big Dreamers. We can't wait to read the next chapters in your incredible life :) For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/251
