The Attitude of Gratitude: Turning ‘Why Me?’ into ‘What’s Next?’
Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic has spent his life proving that limitations don’t define us, they refine us. In this powerful episode of Navigating Disability, Kate and Jenn sit down with the world-renowned motivational speaker, author, and advocate to explore his journey from childhood bullying and deep despair to global stages and a life of hope, faith, and purpose.
Nick shares raw and moving stories, from the moment at 15 when a Bible story transformed his perspective, to the high school speech that revealed his calling, to a hug from a student that reminded him of the power of love spoken out loud. He opens up about the role his parents played in building resilience, his battles with depression, and the mindset shifts that helped him turn obstacles into opportunities.
This conversation is an invitation to reframe your own challenges, embrace gratitude, and believe in your worth—whether or not you can see the whole plan.
🎧 Tune in for lessons that will inspire you to live with courage, compassion, and an unshakeable belief in what’s possible.
