Water coming out of my eyes here, like this is really uncomfortable.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their personal struggles into a force for good? Meet Jordan Thomas, a man who has done just that. In this episode of 'The Now What Society' podcast, hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy chat with Jordan about his remarkable journey from battling substance abuse to becoming a beacon of hope for children with limb loss.
After overcoming his own challenges, Jordan threw himself into his work with the Jordan Thomas Foundation, which provides prostheses to kids around the world. But that's not all—the Foundation also offers mental health resources and support for families, aiming to break down the barriers faced by those living with limb differences. Jordan’s story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and small, consistent steps toward big goals.
He opens up about his experiences of shame and guilt related to his physical disability and how finding spirituality helped him heal. His advocacy work even takes him to the halls of Congress, where he fights for better healthcare coverage for children with limb loss. This episode isn't just about Jordan's inspiring journey; it's also packed with practical advice on goal-setting, self-talk, and daily routines.
Whether you're on your own path to recovery or simply looking for some motivation, this conversation offers something for everyone. Tune in to hear how one man's dedication is making a world of difference.
