Kathy Buckley: Disability Trauma Recovery & The Thrive Stage (Ep. 28)

Post-Traumatic Thriving

Kathy believed that her disability did not make her less than anyone else. While questioning herself, she aimed high. Yet her headshot was thrown into the trash by a comedy club owner. As a stroke of luck, famous comedian Geri Jewell saw it in the trash and pulled it out. This led to Kathy’s first comedy gig, where she was an instant hit. She ran into Tony Robbins in the parking lot, where Kathy was invited to share the stage with him for years to come, and she performed all over the country. Kathy did the impossible and became the world’s first hearing-impaired comedian.
