Amy Stevenson Wilson, MPH, CHWC holds a Master’s in Public Health and is a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Born and raised in Fruit Heights, Utah, Amy is an avid runner, reader, and nutrition enthusiast. She earned her political science degree from BYU and has lived around the globe. In 2017, while eight months pregnant, she survived a near-fatal collision with street-racing teens. Now a mother of four, she lives in Farmington, Utah, and shares her story of traumatic brain injury, physical recovery, and the power of forgiveness. In this episode, host Bethany Lewis interviews her neighbor and friend, Amy Stevenson Wilson. Amy shares her harrowing story of being hit by a car traveling 95 mph while she was 35 weeks pregnant. She details the immediate aftermath including emergency C-section, a traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale of 7), a grade 5 kidney laceration, a broken pelvis, and the dramatic rescue by Salt Lake City first responders. She recounts how her daughter, Grace Deliverance, was born not breathing and required 11-12 minutes of CPR, facing a grim prognosis of severe developmental delays. The episode follows their miraculous recovery, the decision to forgive the teenage driver in court, and the ultimate triumph of running a 10k with her father just a few years later. This episode is a powerful testament to hope, faith, and the resilience of the human brain and spirit.
