Show notes

Rick Werry was born in a small town in Utah and grew up on a dairy farm, the youngest of four kids. As a teenager, Rick loved sports and being outdoors. In 2007 Rick married his college sweetheart Tara. One year later while building their house, Rick was in a construction accident and broke his neck. His life changed that day as Rick became paralyzed from the chest down. Rick was scared, sad, and unsure what the future would hold when a nurse came into his hospital room. The nurse was holding a red pen and a calendar. She told Rick that any time you accomplish something you couldn't do yesterday we will write it down and call it a "Red Letter Day.”
Rick has taken that nurse's advice not only in recovering from a spinal cord injury but also in life. In Rick’s ‘wheelchair life’ he has accomplished so many amazing things. He is a husband, a father, an avid hand-cyclist, a wheelchair rugby player, and a hunter. Rick is compiling his life lessons and “Red Letter Days” into a memoir and plans to have it published.
Rick is passionate about using his journey to inspire others by being featured as a keynote speaker, motivating sports teams through storytelling, presenting to religious organizations, and sharing his story on podcasts. To book Rick for a podcast or an upcoming event, send him a message today.

She noticed that she was feeling tired that day and was overall just really fatigued. Over the course of the next couple of days, her body just kept getting weaker and weaker so she ended up going on a journey to find out what was going on.

After years of battling Lyme's Megan feels like she is in a great spot and is on the right path in her healing journey.

This episode is unique because Joey (our co-host) has a similar story to Megan so they were able to connect and tell their stories in the same episode. Joey was diagnosed with Lyme's disease at the age of 12 and it eventually led him to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called juvenile dermatomyositis. During this episode, Joey tells his story and breaks down how his autoimmune disease affected his life.
