The Pursuit of Happiness (Ep. 120) Adrianne Haslet Strong: Her Journey and Mindset in Surviving the Boston Marathon Bombings to then Running It
Boston Marathon bombing survivor, motivational speaker and bad-ass woman Adrianne Haslet joins me on this episode to discuss her truly remarkable life journey full of ups and downs and a lot of resilience. I genuinely appreciated her vulnerability and candidness about her experience on April 15, 2013 as a spectator, being just inches away from one of the bombs at the Boston Marathon that ended up taking one of her legs. Having recently just passed the 10-year anniversary of this horrific event, we discuss not only that day, but the years that have passed since and another accident of being hit by a car that left her upper body shattered. She talks about her mental health, the hard times and picking herself up again and again and how she continues to move forward and not just survive, but thrive. Adrianne shows that she's human, but it's clear to see she's among the best of us. She made a promise just days after the bombing she would not only run the Boston Marathon, but she would finish it. A feat she has accomplished multiple times since. An incredible story of perseverance that has just begun.
