319: Disarming Your Limits with Jessica Cox

Jessica is the world’s first armless pilot! Adapting to a world that is designed for able-bodies, Jessica shares her experiences as woman with no arms. 

Jessica shares how the outside world responds to her differences, versus her own perceptions. It took a number of years for Jessica to embrace her differences, but when she stepped into her own uniqueness, Jessica realized she has a lot to offer this world - including becoming the best version of herself. 

Jessica gives listeners advice - Break things down into smaller steps to make a big task seem more accomplishable.

On this episode we dive into: 

• The neuroplasticity and adaptiveness of the brain
• Growing up being different from everyone
• The “why me” mindset 
• Disarming the power the world has on us, to be confident in our differences 
• Flying a plane with no arms
• Jessica’s book and documentary are ground-breaking for people living with disabilities 

The take-home: 

Building confidence and acceptance is a journey that we are all on, and all at different phases. Jessica kicks her shoes off to not only fly a plane, but to embrace life to its absolute fullest. You can feel Jessica’s passion for life, and her grace in a motivational speaking, through the mic.
