Congenital vs. Acquired Limb Loss: 2 Starting Points Same Powerful Resilience.

What’s the difference between being born with a limb loss and losing a limb later in life?

In this episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland (born without a right hand) breaks down the emotional, physical, and social differences between congenital limb loss and adult amputation—two very different starting points that often lead to the same powerful resilience.

Mike shares personal experiences, insights from recent guest interviews like Stevia Walker (who became an amputee in 2023), and stories from others who’ve learned to adapt and thrive no matter how their journey began.

Whether you’ve lived with a limb difference your whole life, recently became an amputee, or support someone who has—this episode is for you.
