A brand new podcast from the charity Steel Bones sharing amputee life stories and experiences.
We will be getting on experts in the field to give us the most up to date information too.
In this episode we celebrate Limb Loss Limb Difference Awareness Month.Steel Bones’ CEO and Co Founder, Emma Joy-Staines sits down with David Ball, a father, grandfather, and trustee of Headway Bristol, whose life experience has shaped a powerful perspective on resilience. After meeting David at an Irwin Mitchell conference and hearing him speak, it was clear his story needed to be shared more widely.
David opens up about the realities of trauma — the moments that break you, the slow work of rebuilding, and the mindset shifts that make healing possible. With honesty and warmth, he offers practical advice drawn from lived experience, not theory. His reflections on identity, acceptance, and finding purpose after life-changing events will resonate with anyone navigating their own challenges.
This conversation is grounded, human, and full of wisdom. Whether you’re supporting someone through trauma or walking that path yourself, David’s insights offer hope and clarity.
