TEATIME WITH MISS LIZ SERVES: Mike Bolland We’re Not Stumped: From Limb Loss to Limitless Possibility Tagline You don’t need everything to do something meaningful — you need to use what you have. Description: On June 26th at 3 PM EST, Teatime with Miss Liz welcomes Mike Bolland — speaker, actor, comedian, cancer survivor, advocate, podcast host of We’re Not Stumped, and the first one-handed professional bowler on the Professional Bowlers Association tour. Born without a right hand, Mike has spent his life showing that difference does not define limitation. From being cast as Danny in The Trial of Billy Jack as a child, to building a 30-year corporate career, to surviving cancer, Mike’s journey is filled with humour, resilience, reinvention, and purpose. Today, through speaking, advocacy, his podcast, and his platform Enable Review, Mike helps people reframe challenges, build confidence, and recognize what is possible when they stop focusing on what they lack and begin using what they have. This Teatime explores disability awareness, resilience, inclusion, cancer survival, mindset, humour, advocacy, and the power of possibility. Opening: Welcome everyone to Teatime with Miss Liz, where we serve real-life T-E-A through stories that inspire courage, awareness, and meaningful connection. Today’s guest brings a message that is powerful, practical, and deeply human. Mike Bolland was born without a right hand, but he has never allowed that to define what was possible for his life. From childhood acting to professional bowling, corporate leadership, cancer survival, comedy, advocacy, and podcasting, Mike’s story reminds us that limitations do not get the final word. His message is simple and unforgettable: use what you have. Mike, welcome to Teatime with Miss Liz. Closing: Today’s conversation reminds us that possibility begins when we stop measuring life by what is missing and start recognizing the strength already within us. Mike Bolland shared how humour, mindset, resilience, and lived experience can help us reframe challenges and create impact. His journey proves that difference can become purpose, adversity can become advocacy, and every person has something meaningful to offer. As we leave today’s Teatime, may we reflect on this: What could change if we stopped focusing on what we don’t have and started using what we do?
