Angie Sandow was born with one hand and Poland syndrome—but that hasn’t stopped her from riding motorcycles, playing guitar, performing onstage, and finding plenty of reasons to laugh along the way.
In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, Mike Bolland reconnects with Angie for a candid and often funny conversation about growing up with a limb difference, dealing with bullying and unwanted attention, and learning to turn difficult experiences into something positive.
Angie shares how music became an important part of her life, including performing with bands and using a custom prosthetic guitar holder. She also talks about becoming a one-handed motorcycle rider and the modifications that allow her to ride, including moving the throttle to the left side.
Mike and Angie also discuss breast cancer, speaking and advocacy, aging with a disability, handling unsolicited help, the importance of supportive communities, and the unique experiences of people born with limb differences compared with those who experience limb loss later in life.
And, of course, there’s plenty of conversation about humor, hockey, the Buffalo Bills, and refusing to let other people’s expectations determine what’s possible.
It’s an entertaining and thoughtful conversation between two people born with one hand who have spent their lives finding their own ways to do things.
🎙️ We’re Not Stumped shares real stories of limb loss, limb difference, disability, recovery, resilience, and the people who prove that life doesn’t end when circumstances change.
