Some men become disabled and women run for the hills for many obvious reasons (same ones as men's reasons) but the standout difference for women is if the man loses the provider role on top of all the other problems....it's a nope for almost all women eventually. Men don't do that if a woman loses the ability to work. Actually that's just true regardless of any disabling accident.

Turia is an amazing human being. My self esteem was crushed when I lost four teeth due to severe Fluxocilin (oral antibiotic) allergy, to the extent that I developed the habit of covering my mouth when laughing. I cannot imagine going through what this woman has been through. It took YEARS to save up the money to get my teeth fixed, and I just was NOT myself until then. I remember having to hold back tears on public transport once when a handsome man complemented my appearance and shyly asked me for my phone number because I felt SO UGLY with those few missing teeth 😢 Turia is an inspiration, and her partner is a shinning example of what a "good man" SHOULD be. God bless them both.

@@marlama1982 you should go visit dentist and ask him/her. Receding gums are caused by different reasons and can be a combination of different factors like certain bacteria (less likely), teeth grinding (which usually happens at night while you sleep) and they will ask you to wear a mouth piece/retainer while you sleep which will be custom made as it needs to be fitted if that’s the cause. Teeth grinding is caused by psychological stress normally. Also receding of gums can be because of genetics. But they need to take examine your teeth and gums to determine the cause. Receding of gums is rarely caused by antibiotics, has never seen or heard of it.

Truly an uplifting story of triumph over adversity. This interview will no doubt encourage others to strive for better outcomes. Go Turia....

I cried through this whole video. Not from sadness for what happened to Turia, but from my heart exploding from learning who she is, and the amazing people in her life, and her unflagging optimism and hope in the face of others' definition of "the impossible." I've seen photos of her before and after, and honestly, there's more than one amazing lesson here. Obviously physically gorgeous prior to the ravages of the fire, but even more beautiful is Turia's spirit and mindset. It also makes me believe in the idea of "soulmates" when she describes her relationship with Micheal.

Wow. I’m physically full capable but do have mental disabilities so I can both relate to the “low bar” and “expectations” that ppl who have not experienced the same trauma sometimes set for the disabled. BUT from my experience… the absolute MOST capable and STRONGEST ppl are those who not only survived an unwanted/ life changing crisis but whom beat ALL the odds and gain a new life perspective. Bravo and Brava to them both. This video exudes positivity and hope!

I watched the 60 Minutes Australia show about Turia and Michael first. Turia is truly the most inspiring woman I’ve ever seen. I never dreamed anyone that’s been burned as much could ever accomplish the physical activities she has and her attitude is amazing. And let’s not leave out Michael. This is love. He didn’t leave because of the adversity or that she didn’t look the same. What a wonderful person and support to Turia. I was quite angry how the extremely wealthy marathon organizer took no responsibility and seems to have absolutely no compassion because she’s too worried about racking up even more wealth from these marathons. But, instead of focusing on how unjustly she’s been treated by this super wealthy and completely selfish organizer, Turia focuses on the positive and moving forward with her life in the best possible way. I love how she said she’s so happy now. I’m so happy that she survived, thrived and she and Michael have a beautiful family and are loving life together. I wish them the very best that life has to offer. They’re a shining example to us all.

I've been dying to see her progress! Turia is a QUEEN!

What an absolutely beautiful woman. And an amazing husband for being by her side through all of it!

If most people had the strength that Turia has almost nothing would seem like an obstacle. From the early days with all the pain to being able to reclaim her life and be successful is amazing.

I remember in the 60 minutes interview she did she mentioned wanting to regain her previous looks not just for vanity but for her own need to persevere. I’m honestly shocked how much she was able to reclaim her face and look very similar to how she used to. I know it’s a small victory compared to having her mobility and life back but it really shows how far she’s come.

She looks really good. I sae another documentary and I am shocked to see how great she looks. Their children are super cute and I think she is very lacky to have a family like the one she has.

Thank goodness she had the strength and courage to do this. A brilliant and wonderful woman who inspires us all.

What a strong woman to come through all that she has endured. I am in awe of and inspired by how brave she is. When she has those little moments when she can’t do what she describes as a simple task, like opening the jar of spaghetti sauce, she should remember that she has overcome so much more than most people would ever be able to do.

Dear, Turia, I have been following your story since the terrible accident happened and you are so inspirational , beautiful, and have such determination. I have Lymphedema with open wounds which is extremely painful ,l am on morphine every 4 hours but l know my pain doesn't even come close to what you went through not to mention the emotional anguish you have suffered too because of the accident. I wish l could be more like you when you say you believe any one can do anything taking baby steps, l believe you and you give me so much hope, l want to thankyou. I remember you said you had gotten back into physical shape after the accident and now you were going to focus on wanting to get your looks back as best as you possibly could , that you were no way just going to accept the way you looked after the fire. I would like to say that l watched this interview and l think you have come such a long way as far as your looks improving since l first saw you when you took off your mask. Your face and hair look beautiful in this interview. Your nose looks very good and you can't hardly notice the scars are minimal. Your complexion is very good , and all your features and face are beautiful. To me you have achieved that goal too. You are an amazing person , with a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful kids. You help so many people more than you know, l wish you the best in your life and your future .- Debbie Steen

She is amazing her mum is amazing and Michael. .. what a gift to have a partner like that. Not many couples this close happy and truly loving. She deserves all of it after what she went through✌❤

Just watched Turia's 60 Minutes episode. It ended with the question of where she thought she'd be in 1 yr?...5 yrs?...10 yrs? She seemed sure that she'd be doing the things she loves & she'd be doing them with Michael, including having children. I'm so very glad to see that 10 yrs later, all of that has come true for her♥️ How blessed your 2 kids are to have you for a Mom💯 Turia, you are a shining, beautiful example of the best of us as human beings. This world is a better place because you are in it. Thank you for sharing your story!!🙌 🤜🤛 You rock!!😊

I've watched the first video about her and then saw this one and really wanted to see it, and I'm sad when seeing all that she's gone through but could not stop watching. She's simply incredible. I think her finest moment in this interview was her final comment of the video where she tells the interviewer that she has really enjoyed talking to him. I was so glad that she told him this and that it was included in the video. She was recognizing him for his ability to have become someone who knew how to draw her out and get her to express what she needed to. Despite being the subject of the interview she asked him several questions about his experience in life. He obviously admires her final comment brought the interview to an end where he was the important one. I believe they are true friends.

Totally amazing the determination some people have. Turia is such an inspiration and everyone who carries on thru devastation in their lives. Michael is a wonderful man for staying by her and seeing it through. He has true love and compassion. He shows the best in humanity.

Oh my. What a beautiful family. Michael is a strong, quality man. God was not done with you two!

What a wonderful woman full of inspiration. She really looks good never heard her moan once. God bless her shes one of a kind and I totally respect her. She has a beautiful family and I wish her all the best

She is beautiful. We take so much for granted in life and then there is someone who shows you that what you may be griping about is so insignificant. You are awesome Turia!

The power and beauty of the human spirit and the overcoming of such overwhelming pain and suffering are what I take away from this tragedy-turned-triumph. Turia's strength, both inner as well as outer strength is miraculous to behold. And husband Michael's love and commitment are a testament to his spirit, as well. Their bond of love is unbreakable.

Turia is absolutely gorgeous on the inside & out!! I saw one of her first interviews when she first had her accident. I cannot believe how far she has come in just 10 years!! I’m so very happy for her & Michael & their two beautiful boys!! She is an absolutely Amazing Woman & a Warrior!! Her husband Michael is totally out of this world as far as being how loving & supportive he was & still is to his gorgeous wife Turia!! These two are an extremely Inspiring Couple ❤️❤️🙏🙏

This woman is so so inspirational. She is my personal hero.

A powerful story and an inspiring interview. Thank you

She's an absolute star. Her doctor had never seen anyone survive burns as deep as hers. I think the fact she was running an ultra marathon when she was burned says a lot about her determination to get better.

No matter how many times I see this interview ALL I want to do is ON YOU girl!! What an amazing woman - what inspiration for EVERYONE no matter what their problems!! OMG She is amazing!!

I wanted to see the 60minutes doc on Turia but there is no sound.. its such a shame. Anyways i decided to search her name and found this.. it made me so happy to see how great shes doing.. what a fighter... Im happy she is surrounded with all that love and family and not doing it alone.. to witness stories like this is making me a better person. Thank you for reminding me that life is something to respect and honour. Its beautiful when struggles make you better and not bitter and worse of

There just aren't any words how inspiring and beautiful Turia is!! I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease about 5 years ago and I also have my now husband Michael who has been my rock and my family! I'm kinda the same way but I feel like Turia has even more grit then I have and when I am told that I can't...well I do it despite the people who don't always understand what I can accomplish! I also completely understand how easy some things I could do before my diagnosis are harder to do now and that can be vulnerable as well as make you feel less independent. However, you also cherish life and all that you can do! I love your strength and courage Turia, I can't even imagine all that you have been through!

Deep gratitude. Such a true role model. God keep Turia and her beautiful family strong.

What strength & she has such a beautiful spirit about herself! What an inspiration she is for others! Her inner beauty brings out her outer beauty 100%! I love this woman’s courage & love for life & herself & others, God Bless her♥️🙏♥️🙏

"If it's a challenge for you, then that's enough." THANK YOU! This may be my next tattoo. 16 years ago I fell ill and never recovered. I have severe M.E., and then recently I got Covid twice. Now I have long Covid as well. It's so hard for me to not beat myself up because some days I don't have the energy to get out of bed or feed myself. Some days I'm semi functional, and many days I'm barely even there. Your words are going to give me a lot of inner strength and self love.

The improvement in her neck and face is miraculous!...and what a beautiful mind !....definitely take those salsa dance lessons!

I'm so happy she had a child and is thriving. (she looks so pretty too ) Bless her!

Turia has helped me just by knowing her story. I’m so appreciative.

She has come a long way! It’s amazing how far she has come.
