Patience and Kindness: Lessons from our Three-Legged Hero

The Pain Free Athlete Podcast

Missing an episode due to the chaos of the back-to-school season might have once sent me into a spiral of self-criticism, but through the growth and progress I’ve made in therapy, my reaction has evolved. This week, I share a vulnerable reflection on how therapy has shaped my response to small hiccups and celebrate a significant personal milestone—reading 49 books, inspired by the remarkable Jim Kwik. I also introduce you to the newest member of our family, Tripp, our courageous and resilient three-legged dog. Tripp’s journey post-amputation has been a profound source of learning about adjusting expectations and finding patience and kindness in the face of adversity. Join me in this episode as we uncover the lessons learned from Tripp’s resilience and how these experiences can inspire us to show compassion to ourselves and others. Your support means the world to me, and together, we’ll continue navigating our journeys with patience and kindness.
