In this inspiring episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland sits down with Caitlin Conner, founder of Be More Adaptive, to explore how she’s building a global hub for disability resources designed to empower people with disabilities to live fulfilling, confident, and sustainable lives.
Caitlin shares her powerful journey — from surviving a life-changing motorcycle accident while pregnant to becoming a Paralympic-level athlete, model, and outspoken disability advocate. She talks candidly about adapting to life as an amputee, the importance of self-advocacy, and how adaptive sports helped her rebuild her identity, purpose, and strength.
Together, Mike and Caitlin dive into:
✅ The mission and future of Be More Adaptive’s global resource platform
✅ How inclusive online communities create connection and safe spaces
✅ Why collaboration and resource sharing are vital for disability empowerment
✅ Caitlin’s continued advocacy in sports, fashion, and accessibility
This episode is a powerful reminder that resilience, purpose, and community can transform adversity into opportunity.
