My guest, Martariesa Logue, epitomizes dedication, conscientiousness, and an unwavering drive, earning acclaim for surpassing expectations. Born with Thrombocytopenia-absent radius (TAR) syndrome, a condition that affects fewer than 5,000 people in the U.S., she was left with the absence of a radial bone in both arms. Growing up, she actively participated in gymnastics, music, and ski club, played soccer, and excelled academically, becoming an esteemed Phi Theta Kappa honor society member.   In a world fixated on the newest gadgets and speediest vehicles, the mere act of existing on this chaotic Earth is an achievement in itself. Opting out of surgeries and navigating life while missing a few bones has sculpted her version of 'normal,' distinct from the conventional yet undeniably extraordinary.   You will be inspired by the ways Martariesa has embraced the rarity of her journey.
