Summary

Today on the show Jayson is talking with Amberly Lago, motivational speaker and best-selling author, about finding confidence in yourself, and why that’s so important for success in your life. Amberly went through a life changing accident at age 38 when she was hit by an SUV, the doctors told her that she would have to have her leg amputated. She was devastated by the news, but couldn’t accept it. She fought day after day to prove them wrong and prove to herself that she would be able to not only walk but regularly run and exercise. Amberly is living proof that anything is possible if you love yourself and have enough confidence in yourself.
