My name is Sky Devitt, and my life has never followed a script…

I grew up in an environment marked by abuse, and by fourteen, I was living in a hotel room, navigating my freshman year of high school without any real sense of stability. That same year, I lost my mother to suicide — a loss that reshaped how I understood pain, silence, and survival at an age when most kids are just figuring out who they want to be. Two years later, at sixteen, I was ran over by a train and lost my right leg above the knee and I wasn’t supposed to make it. but I did.

What came after the accident was its own kind of battle. I had to learn to walk again while also fighting to get sober, rebuilding my body and my mind at the same time, often on the same day. There was no single moment where everything clicked into place. It was slow, ugly, and real — relearning how to stand, how to trust myself, and eventually, how to want a future instead of just surviving the present.

Today, I use my story to connect with people instead of hide from them. I share my life publicly — the survival, the setbacks, the humor, the joy I almost did not get to experience — because I know what it feels like to believe you are alone in what you are carrying. Through my content, my podcast, and the conversations I have with strangers and survivors alike, I want to prove one thing above everything else: the life waiting on the other side of your worst moment is worth fighting for. I am living proof of that, and I am still going.
