This raw, intimate conversation from the Abilities Expo in Chicago captures a powerful moment between two strangers who discover their parallel journeys through life-altering accidents, guilt, and ultimately, resilience.
Meet Cindy, a lifelong disability advocate whose world transformed when she fell asleep at the wheel, causing an accident that left her daughter quadriplegic. Max shares his own story of military service cut short when he awoke in a hospital bed after a car accident . Their conversation navigates the complex emotions of trauma—guilt, forgiveness, and the challenging path toward healing. What emerges is a beautiful testament to human adaptability and the unexpected gifts that can follow devastation.
"Serendipity" becomes the watchword of their exchange. Cindy describes how her daughter, now approaching 39, never doubted she would have a full life despite her injuries. Today, she works as a lawyer in DC and has two children whom Cindy helps raise. Meanwhile, the host finds inspiration in Cindy's journey as an author, having published "Just Keep Swimming: A Crash, A Quest, and Waves of Hope" about the first four years following the accident.
