Jo Beckwith (FootlessJo)

I am a public speaker, advocate, and writer, who passionately believes in the incredibly perseverant capacity of the human soul. We may not have the exact same life experiences but I know that as human beings we have the unique capacity to help each other heal and grow by sharing our stories.

I often speak in front of an audience or a camera and share my experiences as an amputee and survivor of trauma. Perseverance and mental health are at the forefront of most talks as I have faced depression, anxiety, PTSD, and know the importance of attending to the temperature of our minds.

When I am not speaking or in front of a camera, you'll definitely find me in the mountains with my handsome husband Brian, and our three big pups, Sadie, Sophie, and Monkey. We're proud parents not only to our dogs, but also to two fluffy cats, three rats, and a very angry little hamster.
