I’ve had a hurt foot for 4 months now, and it’s been challenging in so many ways. I decided to turn lemons into lemonade and share some tips which I hope will help others in the same boat.

I actually created this video two months ago, when I thought I’d only be out of commission for a month. It’s literally been one step forward, two steps back!

Here’s the full video and some tips. Please share with anyone this might help!
