Summary

"Asking for help does not make us weak. It's honestly probably the strongest thing that we can do." Paralympian swimmer Mallory Weggemann takes Zibby through the first few months of her paralysis and how the lessons she learned then have shaped the forward-thinking mentality she carries with her to this day. She shares her incredible story in her new book, Limitless, with the hope that it will empower readers to find the limitless potential we all have inside of us.
