Summary
What happens when the life you planned disappears in an instant? Just 13 days after her wedding, Lindi Marcusen survived a catastrophic car accident that left her fighting for her life. Five and a half weeks later, she woke up to discover she'd lost her leg, suffered a traumatic brain injury, and would have to rebuild a life she no longer recognized. This week, Lindi joins Nurse Julie to share the haunting moments before the crash, the extraordinary near-death experience that changed her forever, what it means to grieve the "old you," and her continuous journey of putting together the missing pieces from that tragic day. Julie and Lindi also unpack "the rally," the phenomenon of phantom pain, and how Lindi went from ICU patient to record-holding Paralympian. This episode is a great reminder that sometimes the end of the life you imagined becomes the beginning of the life you were meant to live.
