This special Christmas episode of We’re Not Stumped is a heartfelt reflection from host Mike Bolland on resilience, community, and gratitude during the holiday season.
Instead of an interview, Mike takes a few minutes to acknowledge the realities many people in the limb loss and disability community face during the holidays — from accessibility challenges and family dynamics to grief, growth, and adapting to change — all with warmth and a touch of humor.
Mike also shares what this podcast has taught him over the past year and gives a heartfelt shout-out to some incredible guests who trusted him with their stories, including Jessica Cox, Brooke Brown, Steven Vine, Kelly Grey-Parker, and Neomi Flores.
If you’re navigating a difficult season, missing someone, or simply need a reminder that you’re not alone — this episode is for you.
🎄 Merry Christmas from the We’re Not Stumped community.
