Jessica Minhas On When Our Bodies Fail Us.

We are not bigger than our bodies. 

Physical limitations can affect anyone at any age and can be caused by a wide range of factors, including injury, illness, genetics, and aging. Living with physical limitations can be physically and emotionally challenging, but it's essential to understand that you're not alone.

Today, Jessica Minhas, founder, CEO, and host of the I'll Go first podcast, joins me to discuss living with limitations. Jessica has always used her platform to care for others. As Miss Florida, she used her role to focus on those often ignored. As a nonprofit leader, Jessica brought awareness to issues involving human trafficking and mental health. Along the way, she began to suffer from crippling migraines and seizures. She went to the doctor only to discover that they had no idea what was causing her pain. What happens when our bodies fail us?

In this episode, we discuss the following: 

How limitations lead to community.

The invitation and responsibility of "going first."

The stewardship of your own story.

How your limitations can free you to find purpose.

Also, Jessica gives the nod to the NYT Best Selling book, Brain On Fire.
