Amy Purdy simply doesn't quit. She has taken every obstacle life has thrown her way and turned it into an opportunity. At just 19 a sudden case of bacterial meningitis resulted in the loss of both legs below the knee, her kidney function, and spleen. After fighting for her life, she became a trailblazer in snowboarding, even making history as a 3-time Paralympic medalist. After, she continued to inspire millions by competing on "Dancing With the Stars," touring with Oprah, and authoring a New York Times best-selling memoir. Then, in 20198, life threw another obstacle her way causing her to rebuild. It's this rebuild that inspired her latest book "Bounce Forward." Today we dive in to:

• How she chose to find opportunity in continued health obstacles
• Why "Bounce Forward" is formatted like a toolkit for readers (with a playlist and workbook attached!)
• The 2019 injury that had her questioning "why me?" for the first time in her life
• What bouncing forward means to her & how it helped her write this book
• The power vulnerability has to bring people together and create strength
• How problem-solving has brought her happiness
• What drives her to keep sharing her story and making change
