  • Summary

  • How do you go from a vegetative state to becoming a gold medalist, ESPN host, and Dancing with the Stars contestant?

    Victoria Arlen shares her unbelievable journey of survival and resilience with Emily. Diagnosed with two rare neurological conditions at 11, Victoria was locked inside her own body for four years, unable to move or communicate.

    But through faith, family support, and sheer determination, she fought her way back to life, learning to blink, speak, and eventually walk. This powerful conversation explores overcoming trauma, the importance of celebrating small victories, and living with purpose.

    Victoria’s story isn’t just about recovery—it’s about embracing life’s hardships, finding joy, and inspiring others to do the same.
