“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.” — Brené Brown
Janine was a national champion skier before an accident destroyed her athletic dreams, and nearly ended her life.
Paralyzed, Janine spent 10 days in a coma and then the following six months in the spinal ward.
She defied the odds by not only learning to walk again, but by creating an entirely new life in the most remarkable way.

Janine’s story has been featured on 60 Minutes and This is Your Life. Her first book, Never Tell Me Never, was made into a feature length film, and she has since written five other books including recently-released, Defiant.
Her TED talk has more than 2 million views and she is regarded as one of the world’s top inspirational speakers.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Finding the gift in adversity
- Coming to terms with your identity (and fitting in)
- Understanding shame – and the importance of owning your story, and
- Becoming a resilience machine so nothing can stand in your way.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Janine Shepherd!
