In this episode of the “We’re not Stumped” podcast, I invite some prior guests for a ‘sit down’. They are Dan Moses & Jennifer “JJ” Johnson who appeared on season one, episode 4 (https://youtu.be/2ZlJAVLo1e4) and John Higbee, who appeared in season one, episode 7 (https://youtu.be/XGjfVpJWEWw).
We all come to the table as amputees, but our stories are much different as I am a congenital amputee (born without a right hand), John is a bilateral upper limb amputee, Dan is a bilateral below knee amputee and JJ is a bilateral above knee amputee. Some of our stories are consistent, others not so much. Listen in as different types of amputees discuss their journeys.

Mike Bolland sits down with Jeanette Jones, a childhood cancer survivor who shares her remarkable story. Diagnosed with cancer as a child, Jeanette faced years of treatment in an effort to save her left leg. At age 16, she underwent a hip disarticulation — a complex amputation that removes the entire leg, including the femur, from the pelvis. Jeanette's resilience and determination in the face of these challenges will leave you inspired. Tune in for her powerful insights on adapting to life after amputation and thriving beyond adversity.
