Manage episode 332439880 series 3304030
Kathy Buckley’s family thought she was “slow” and her hearing impairment was not discovered until she was eight. She struggled to connect with others. Lacking family support, she was sexually molested as a child and raped at 16. Feeling profoundly alone, Kathy attempted suicide five times in high school. Then in her early 20’s, Kathy was at the beach when a 3,500-pound lifeguard jeep ran over. The paramedics pronounced her dead on arrival, but Kathy miraculously came back to life. Kathy overcame it all to do remarkable things as a standup comic and more.
