In this raw and riveting episode of Suddenly Different, Vicki Tyler takes us through not one—but two—literal life-shattering falls. From a 50-foot drop in a remote Northern Territory gorge that left her airlifted by flying doctors, to a freak sleepwalking accident that crushed her spine just months after she bungee-jumped to conquer her fear of heights.

But this isn’t just a story about broken bones—it’s about breaking patterns.

Vicki speaks candidly about witnessing trauma in her teens, overcoming gender bias in leadership, and the moment she stopped living on autopilot and started asking: Why not me? With her trademark mix of curiosity and courage, she invites us to challenge the stories that keep us small—and to reclaim our voice, our impact, and our place at the table.

If you’ve ever faced fear, fallen hard, or wondered how to rise again—this is your reminder that sometimes, what breaks you… also wakes you.
