Shelly Houser is a congenital hemi amputee who was born without her right hip and leg. With this birth anomaly, she has endured different forms of scorn throughout her life from some people. Some people are helpful with their curious conversation, while some will shun people with these anomalies. Shelly wants everyone to know how to communicate with people like her effectively. She is passing on her life experience through her podcast series Life Beyond the Label while also educating nursing students at Villanova University on how to communicate with amputee patients openly.
