"I could've gone either way". After a near death experience and being told she'd never walk again, Janine could have simply given up. Now, she lives a life they thought was impossible.
Janine Shepherd is an internationally renowned speaker, author and currently undertaking her PhD in resilience and disability. She is a former champion skier whose inspiring TED talk, “A Broken Body Isn’t a Broken Person,” has garnered over 2 million views and has been awarded an Order of Australia for her work in the disability sector.
After a bike accident ended her athletic career, Janine faced a daunting recovery and an uncertain
future. With permanent disability, she went on to become a commercial pilot and aerobatics flight
instructor, earn a university degree and author six best-selling books. Told she would never have
children; she is a mum to three kids.
