Episode 220: When Adversity Gives You Purpose with Shelby Perry

Shelby Perry was 10 months alcohol-free when a freak snowboarding
accident caused her to lose her right eye. It would have been
easy to let this enormous setback bring her down – but instead,
she created something beautiful from it. 


In this episode, we dive deep into Shelby’s story, from her
relationship with alcohol, to the day that changed
EVERYTHING. 


And guess what sped up her recovery and healed her from a victim
mindset? Community.


Using the tools she learned when she went alcohol-free, Shelby
was not only able to recover and heal from this accident, but
through perseverance, resilience, and strength, she found a
deeper purpose of helping others. 


Today, she’s a motivational coach who has built a movement
working with people who’ve had life-altering injuries.


Shelby is the perfect example of how dealing with adversity can
be a stepping stone for awakening your purpose and turning that
into a hunger for helping others.
