In the fall of 2018, Katy Grainger’s world was turned upside-down when a small infected cut on her thumb caused her body to go into septic shock. Katy spent a week fighting for her life on two separate islands in the state of Hawaii. The sepsis and a secondary condition, called DIC, caused the blood-flow to her hands and feet to be disrupted, resulting in the loss of both of her lower legs and seven partial fingers.
Katy now sits on the Board of Directors of Sepsis Alliance, the largest sepsis organization in the United States, where she shares her story to spread sepsis awareness and lobbies for changes within the healthcare system that impact sepsis. Katy uses her social media platforms to share information about sepsis and disability, while supporting others from both of these communities to ensure them that they are not alone. She has branched into modeling and motivational speaking and she is writing a book about her journey and the many lessons she learned along the way.

In this episode I sit down with Chelsea Bea, the host of the "Beyond the Picket Fence" podcast. Our conversation starts with Chelsea's experiences growing up as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in a loving family and church community. We then delve into the topic of purity culture and how it impacted Chelsea's life, leading to feelings of shame and experience needing to repent.
Chelsea shares her struggles as a newly married woman and how she navigated the complexities of married life while still trying to figure out her own identity. While building her family, Chelsea recounts the traumatic experience of almost losing her son to a heart complication. Through this experience, Chelsea gained a new perspective on life and the realization that there is often much more going on beyond the idyllic image of the perfect family.
Throughout the episode,we touch on important topics like faith, shame, and trauma, and how these experiences shape who we are as individuals. Listeners will be inspired by Chelsea's honesty and vulnerability as she shares her story, and will come away with a greater appreciation for the complexity of family life beyond the picket fence.
