A Symbol of Courage, Strength, and Hope | Shriners Hospital | Hayes Smith | Episode 101
Imagine a superhero, nine-years-old, born with a right limb deficiency, inspiring us all to dream big and defy the odds. That's Hayes Smith, our amazing guest on the show today, who shares how he navigates life with his unique challenge while harnessing his resilience and infectious spirit. His parents enlighten us on their journey of acceptance, learning to celebrate Hayes' capabilities and navigating the duality of grief and joy. We also discuss the supportive communities that surround Hayes, from the Shriners to empathetic schoolteachers and a coach proficient with handling anxiety and depression.
But that's not all. Hayes is not just your everyday superhero - he's also an author, and at such a young age, he has penned two books. He draws from his experiences, promoting understanding of limb differences, and emphasizing the essence of hard work and perseverance. Hayes unfolds the empowering journey of book signings and the satisfaction he derives from sharing his story. He's an inspiration to all, demonstrating that you don't need a cape or special powers to make a difference in the world. So, get ready to be inspired and humbled, as we journey through Hayes' extraordinary life.
