From Alone to Advocate: The Power of Speaking Up

In this impactful episode of We’re Not Stumped, host Mike Bolland dives into the second “A” of his Triple A’s of Limb LossAdvocacy. Drawing from his own experience as someone born without a right hand, Mike explores how individuals in the limb loss and disability communities are using their voices to influence change, break down stigma, and fight for equal access and opportunity.

Through heartfelt stories and eye-opening insights, this episode highlights:

  • What advocacy looks like — from everyday conversations to systemic reform

  • How sharing your personal journey can empower others and drive awareness

  • The importance of representation in healthcare, employment, media, and beyond

  • Ways listeners can get involved, speak up, and support the disability community

Whether you’re new to advocacy or already leading the charge, this episode will remind you that change starts with a single voice — and grows into a movement.

Because when we speak up, we rise together.

🦾 Real people. Real struggles. Real strength.
Because when you find your community, you’re never stumped.

🦾 Part 2 of Mike Bolland’s Triple A’s: Alone. Advocacy. Attitude.
