Megan Absten: Embracing Imperfections and Inspiring Hope

You know, I mean, you deal with losing your arm. I mean, aside from losing my arm, I haven't got a single stitch. And what I'm really passionate about is mental health and psychology...
How do you turn a life-altering accident into a journey of self-discovery and empowerment? Megan Absten knows all too well. At 14, she lost her left arm in an ATV accident, plunging her into a world of grief and mental health struggles. But Megan didn't let her disability define her. Instead, she embraced it with humor, candor, and a practical approach that has since inspired many.
In this episode of 'Never by the Book', Megan opens up about her path to self-acceptance and mental well-being. She talks about the phases of healing she went through, the 'why me' moments, and how she eventually found peace with her new reality. Megan's story isn't just about overcoming physical limitations; it's about facing emotional battles head-on and coming out stronger. She delves into her experiences with addiction, her passion for mental health, and the power of self-care and self-acceptance.
Megan's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own challenges. Tune in to hear Megan's inspiring story and learn how owning your flaws can lead to a fulfilling life.
