This week we are speaking with former marine gunner, Kirstie Ennis, who suffered intensive injuries including a leg amputation after her helicopter crashed. In this episode, we discuss how she not only overcame her obstacles but went on to create a non-profit organization, climb mountains, and become an adventure athlete. Kirstie truly believes in the philosophy that we have to be uncomfortable to grow and look for situations to push ourselves. \xa0She encourages us to look at how far we\u2019ve come rather than where we still have to go.

Questions I Asked:

  • Did you feel stripped of your identity?
  • What types of workouts do you perform to prepare for the mountains?
  • Did setting goals pull you through rehab?
