The Courage to Continue: A Story of Resilience

Welcome to NielFlamm.com, the place where real life meets real strength. This site exists for anyone who’s ever been knocked down, doubted, dismissed, or told “no” — and decided to keep going anyway. Here, we rise through adversity together, share tools that make life a little easier, and remind each other that resilience isn’t just a trait… It’s a lifestyle.

You’ll find authentic, unfiltered content across every corner of this journey — navigating travel as an amputee, facing the day-to-day misery of end-stage renal disease and finding ways to cope with it, pushing through medical setbacks, calling out scams like the “car-purchasing TikTok con,” and even dealing with local community drama (yes, including holding Nextdoor accountable when a neighborhood moderator’s ego gets a little too big). It’s life the way it actually unfolds: messy, honest, funny, painful, and powerful.

Use the ribbon above to explore the Blog, watch Videos, or dive into featured stories that shine light on every challenge and every win. And if something resonates, frustrates, inspires, or makes you laugh, head to the Contact page — Niel wants to hear from you.

This is a journey of courage, humor, grit, and community.

Your adventure starts now — and you don’t have to walk it alone.
