Her Health Confessions
From Amputation To Champion. Brenna Huckaby’s Inspiring Story
What does it take to rebuild your identity after life completely changes? In this powerful episode of Her Health Confessions, Paralympic gold medalist and cancer survivor Brenna Huckaby shares her extraordinary story. From losing her leg at age 14 to rising as a world champion snowboarder, while navigating PMDD, motherhood, and the mental aftermath of medical trauma.
Diagnosed with osteosarcoma as a teen, Brenna faced amputation, identity loss, and emotional isolation. But it didn’t end there. As she opens up about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), ADHD, and the lesser-seen mental toll of being an amputee, Brenna reflects on what true resilience means and how she’s continually redefined success through grit, community, and radical honesty.
What is PMDD really like from the inside? How does trauma shape the nervous system and influence the experience of ADHD in women? What does it mean to be seen beyond the medal, the diagnosis, or the prosthetic?
Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, amputee life hacks, women’s health challenges, or feeling lost in a season of reinvention, this episode offers validation, insight, and fierce inspiration.
🎧 Topics we explore:
– PMDD and mental health in athletes
– Life after amputation: identity, pain, and power
– ADHD in women and neurodivergent coping tools
– How Brenna handled media scrutiny, motherhood, and trauma
This is a must-listen for anyone seeking real conversations on paralympic snowboarding, body trust, and emotional healing all through the lens of one woman’s unstoppable journey.
