Show Notes
There are moments that don’t look like much from the outside.
Two feet.
A small shift.
A single second.
And then everything changes.
Rebecca Critchfield was a full-time skydiver for over a decade, with more than 7,000 jumps. One unexpected moment in the air resulted in a spinal cord injury that completely altered her life.
In this conversation, she shares what it actually looks like to rebuild — not just physically, but emotionally and relationally.
We talk about:
- What people get wrong about disability and fragility
- Learning how to ask for and receive help
- Grief, identity, and becoming someone new
- The quiet strength required to keep showing up
- Why community matters more than independence
There’s no performance here.
Just honesty, humor, and a perspective that stays with you.
