She lost her leg in a traumatic accident… and turned it into a mission to help others find strength, identity, and purpose again.

This is the story behind Less Leg More Heart — and why it matters for every patient facing limb loss or PAD.

I'm talking with Tina Godfrey Hurley, founder of Less Leg More Heart, alongside Dr. John Phillips, about what happens after amputation — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and how patients rebuild their lives in ways most people never see.

Tina's journey started with a devastating accident that led to limb loss at a young age. Today, she's helping others navigate trauma, identity, mental health, and recovery through her nonprofit and advocacy work.

We're getting into: • What patients really experience after limb loss • The emotional side of recovery doctors don't always see • How identity, confidence, and purpose evolve after trauma • Why community and support systems change outcomes • What PAD patients can learn from the amputee community

If you've ever thought, "no one understands what this feels like," this conversation will hit home.
