Thirty four surgeries later, she’s a USA Today bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and one of the most sought-after voices on grit and resilience. Julie and David Bulitt sit down with Amberly to talk about the accident, the long recovery, and the marriage that carried her through it. She explains how her husband Johnny held the hope when she couldn’t, and how he loved her scars until she could love them herself.Amberly also shares the SPARK method from her book, Joy Through the Journey. It’s a simple daily practice for choosing joy, and it works inside a relationship as much as it does in business or recovery.
