Mike Bolland and Kim Ousley reflect on their experiences at EmpowerFest, an event that brings together people with limb loss and limb difference for adaptive activities, education, encouragement, and community.
Kim shares her experiences trying yoga and diamond painting, while Mike discusses the confidence participants gain from attempting activities in a supportive environment. They also explore the importance of connecting with peers who understand the realities—and humor—of living with limb loss.
The conversation also covers the need for more activities designed for people with upper-limb loss and limb difference, the role prosthetists play during adaptive events, and how breakout sessions can help newer amputees open up and connect with others.
Mike and Kim also discuss creative tools developed by amputees, including Mike’s homemade PVC dumbbell holder, and ideas for highlighting people who create their own adaptive solutions for exercise, hobbies, and everyday life.
This episode of We’re Not Stumped celebrates the courage to try something new, learn from others, and become more involved in the limb-loss community.
