OM DENNE EPISODE
What happens when life changes in a single second?
On October 11, 2024, Vincent Van den Broeck was struck by a car while riding an electric scooter through Brussels. He suffered a devastating traumatic brain injury, spent 3 weeks in a coma, and was given a 1% chance of survival.
But Vincent’s story is about far more than surviving.
In this powerful episode of Light Beyond the Ashes, Amber sits down with Vincent to explore what it means to rebuild your life when nearly everything you knew is suddenly taken away. They talk about resilience, discipline, identity, gratitude, purpose, personal responsibility, and the small choices we make long before we ever know how much we may need them.
Vincent shares the journey from coma and intensive rehabilitation to relearning how to walk, rebuilding his body and mind, returning to entrepreneurship, and ultimately transforming one of the darkest moments of his life into a message of possibility.
His new book, Everything Feels Impossible Until It’s Done: How the Life You Build Becomes the Life That Saves You, releases October 11, 2026, exactly two years after the accident that nearly took his life.
And perhaps that timing says everything.
Because sometimes resilience is not something we suddenly discover when tragedy arrives. Sometimes it is built quietly, one decision, one habit, and one impossible step at a time.
If you have ever found yourself standing in the ashes of a life you did not expect, wondering how you could possibly begin again, this conversation is for you.
Because impossible is often a feeling, not a destination.
And everything feels impossible… until it’s done.
