Overcoming the Crash: Healing, Purpose & Possibility

Could a devastating accident become the catalyst for a life filled with resilience, reinvention, and purpose?

In this week’s episode, Christy Pennison welcomes Sheryl Ramstead, survivor, advocate, and author of Living Life Full Throttle, for an inspiring conversation about overcoming tragedy, finding meaning, and embracing new beginnings.

Together, they explore:

• Sheryl’s life-changing solo flight crash at age 29 and the long, difficult recovery that followed

• The physical, emotional, and psychological challenges of reclaiming her life when everything was upended

• The role of faith, family, and community support in fueling her perseverance

• How Sheryl reinvented herself multiple times—from lawyer to nurse to public servant—while running marathons and climbing mountains along the way

• Moving beyond “Why me?” to ask “What’s next?” and finding purpose through advocacy and service

• The healing power of storytelling and writing her book Living Life Full Throttle

• Practical encouragement for anyone facing adversity to keep moving forward and reimagine what’s possible

Whether you’re navigating setbacks or searching for new direction, this episode offers hope, wisdom, and the reminder that life’s possibilities don’t end after hardship—they can just be the beginning.
