On this episode of the Life after Blindness Spotlight podcast, Tim speaks with motivational speaker and author of the book, “Unshattered: Overcoming Tragedy and Choosing a Beautiful Life“, Carol Decker.

Ten years ago, Carol was rushed to the hospital when she was 33 weeks pregnant. She thought she had the flu but was actually suffering from Sepsis. She delivered her baby girl Sophia before being placed into a medically induced coma.

Due to the complications from Sepsis, Carol had both of her feet, her left hand and right ring finger amputated.

She also went blind.

Listen as she tells Tim of her journey from playing with her brothers growing up, to snowboarding, softball and gymnastics, to the day her life was shattered.

Or was it? Carol describes how she overcame her tragedy and chose a new beautiful life for herself.
