Emma Carey fell from the sky – and survived.

Emma Carey says she wasn’t a particularly positive person before her accident. She was working in a job that she didn’t particularly like, going through the motions of life without a lot of spark or ambition.

While not wanting to take away from the seriousness of her experience and the pain and anguish of recovery, Emma says her life has changed for the better. She has gained an appreciation for what it means to be alive.

Emma is now 29 years old and it’s been almost a decade since she literally fell 15,000 feet from the sky, and survived. Within what she has been through and what she has discovered along the way, are lessons for all of us.

In this conversation Jamila Rizvi and Emma Carey discuss life after becoming disabled, gaining a new perspective on life and Emma's emotional recovery after the incident.
