From hitting the metaphorical wall to finding purpose

December 10, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

Well first let me clarify, that aforementioned wall was actually a car, and I didn’t hit it, it hit me, and hard. In my previous life (my life is now divided into two parts: before the accident, and after the accident), I was a Marketing Manager by day working 50+ hours a week, and a …

Hurry Up and Wait: Having the Patience to Recover

December 6, 2021 //  by Holly Wallis

I have to say the hardest part of recovery from injury is having patience with the process, especially when it is long and painful. While I was recovering for over 5 years from a serious car accident, every setback seemed to take me right back to day one, the day my life changed forever. What …
