Jagger Waters is a writer, storyteller and creative strategist whose life changed in an instant after a catastrophic car accident left them battling PTSD, cognitive impairment and the challenge of rebuilding both a career and a sense of self.

In this episode of Life by Misadventure, Jagger shares how months of insomnia, isolation and losing confidence in her own mind forced them to rethink everything they believed about success, relationships, work and healing, before finding a new path through community, creativity and learning to embrace change instead of resisting it.

This is a conversation about accepting life's interruptions, discovering that recovery cannot be rushed, and realising that sometimes the greatest growth comes not from becoming stronger, but from allowing yourself to become softer.
