The One About Life After Impact With Maia Vezina
After discovering Maia on TikTok with a video of her taking her foot on a travel adventure before a planned amputation, I knew I had to ask her onto the podcast to share her outlooks on life and a body after impact. Maia was 19 years old, when a drunk driver hit her and her mom head on, causing Maia major bodily harm, chronic illness and a life completely turned upside down. Now Maia provides the blunt and honest truth of life after impact. Exploring living with injuries, surgery, recovery, medications, PTSD, anxiety, chronic pain and mental health, Maia gives an insight into something not many could possibly prepare for in life, and yet finds good within it. Get ready to be absolutely inspired.
