In this powerful episode, four-time Paralympian, two-time Paralympic medalist, three-time world champion, and four-time world record holder Jarryd Wallace joins Rachael to share the full story behind his journey.

Jarryd opens up about why he made the life-changing decision to amputate his leg, what that process looked like physically and mentally, and how that decision ultimately launched his career as a professional athlete. He shares what it takes to compete on the world stage at the Paralympic Games and the discipline required to perform at the highest level. He also speaks candidly about the role his faith played in that decision, the hope that carried him through uncertainty, and how trusting God continues to guide both his career and his calling.

But his impact doesn’t stop on the track.

Jarryd and Rachael dive into how they met, the work they did together to help pass SB 101, and what that legislation means for the limb loss and limb difference community. They also discuss what they’re currently working on and how advocacy continues to shape their mission.

Plus, Jarryd shares his vision behind the RIVL Foundation, which he founded to create lasting change and opportunity for individuals with limb loss and limb difference.

This episode is about resilience, advocacy, purpose, and turning adversity into impact.

In this episode, we sit down with Alliance P&O patient Hannah Nabors for a powerful and inspiring conversation about resilience, faith, and the fight for better prosthetic access.

Hannah shares the traumatic story of losing her left leg below the knee, the challenging journey that followed, and the determination driving her biggest dream: running the Boston Marathon. She opens up about her passion for the So Everybody Can Move GA movement, why it means so much to her, and why she’s committed to fighting for insurance coverage of secondary prosthetic devices so more people can reclaim their mobility.

Throughout the conversation, Hannah reflects on how her faith carried her through the toughest moments, how she uses her story to bring glory to the Lord, and how her incredible community in Rome, GA, has supported her every step of the way.

This episode is filled with heart, purpose, and unstoppable strength, one you won't want to miss.
