E30 - Choosing Joy with Brittany and Trevor Frank

Episode Summary

“Optimism looks like crying in my bed and having my husband hold me and comfort me for hours as I cry myself to sleep, but waking up the next day and still moving forward. It’s acknowledging the bad and the hard things that happen in life, but then to go on and choose to look for the good... That’s true optimism for me.” — Brittany Fisher Frank

Episode Notes

In March of 2012, Brittany Fisher Frank was involved in a rappelling accident in which she fell 80-100 feet. The injuries she sustained from the fall left her paralyzed from the waist down.
