Review: Limitless by Mallory Weggeman with Tiffany Yecke Brooks

Mallory Weggemann is a woman that I’d never heard before I read her book. Now, she is definitely one that I will never forget. There is nothing that I will ever say that I can’t do. Here is a woman that could’ve been angry by her circumstances but she chose to redefine the limitations that society defined her life to be. Fearless, resilient, and inspiring, Mallory shows us what a true champion of life is. The empowering message of not letting life define her but she define her life on her terms truly permeates her narrative and makes you want to root for her.

When a life changing event robbed her of a promising future, instead of falling into despair of why, she chose to do the opposite. The title of her book, truly embodies that defining moment. Instead of the world seeing her handicap as a limitation, she chose to see the limitless possibilities her new life could offer. She chose to defy that narrative of her situation.

With the help and support of family and friends, she was determined to find her purpose. That fact that she was able to find optimism through her tragedy and a higher purpose says so much about her character and inner strength. That passion and drive is inspiring and uplifting, becoming a paralympic medalist and ultimately a motivated speaker.

Her honest account of her overcoming her fears, choosing to accept all that came with her new life after her paralysis, and the overall message that she shares speaks volumes. I’m inspired by her courage and determination to conquer her obstacles and her ability to find the beauty in life after. She gives me an entirely new perspective.

Limitless is an empowering book that presents a perspective that is needed. So many people take life for granted but through experiences such as hers, this can be a sobering reminder of how not to take anything for granted. She is truly a beautiful person not only on the outside but as you read her book see how bright her personality shines. Her positivity and message is one that anyone can find inspiration and relate to. Her book is one that I strongly encourage if you have an opportunity to check out.
