If you do not like your situation change it, don't blame somebody else for it and don't wait for somebody else to fix it. You're an amazing example and an amazing leader and a testament to the Navy and Eod and to yourself.
Imagine losing three limbs in a single moment. That’s exactly what happened to Andrew Bottrell, a former Navy EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Technician, during his deployment in Afghanistan. In this episode of the Struggle Well Podcast, hosts Josh and Ken sit down with Andrew to hear his incredible story of resilience and transformation. Despite the severe injuries, Andrew refused to let trauma define him.
He talks candidly about how he avoided addiction to painkillers and adapted to using prosthetic legs just two months after his injury. Andrew’s outlook on life is nothing short of inspirational. He believes in taking charge of your own destiny, emphasizing that if you don’t like your situation, it’s up to you to change it. He shares practical advice on self-awareness, personal growth, and the power of curiosity.
Andrew’s journey isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving and finding purpose beyond the pain. Living in San Diego with his wife and daughter, Andrew continues to inspire others with his message of honor and self-determination. His story is a powerful reminder that no matter how dire the circumstances, you have the power to shape your own life.
