Mom with no arms shares her daily afternoon routine
Sarah Talbi was born without arms. But the Brussels-born woman has never let that stop her from living her life though.
She lives independently and has even taken up a career in art since she can do everything she needs to with her feet and mouth.

Nothing to stop her
Talbi has found ways to adapt to the world around her, which can’t be easy!
“I consider my difference as a strength because it allowed me to create a world of the possible starting by making my feet into real hands, thanks to which I can write, drink, eat, study, work, draw… Quite simply live,” she writes on her website.

While she has nothing to prove to anyone, she’s happy to share the ways she lives life to its fullest on social media, including a YouTube channel where she records “some moments of my life as an armless woman and mum” as well as pieces from her collection “Art without Arms.”
Mom without arms
Talbi’s children certainly don’t think of their mom as lacking, especially since there’s nothing she can’t do! (For example, see her amazing “Dressing a toddler without arms” video!)

In April of 2021, she uploaded a video of herself going through her afternoon routine with her little one – and it’s incredible. It also got people thinking.
“Some moms ignore their kids and use their fully functions arms and hands to scroll online and take selfies… this mom is a boss!” exclaimed one viewer.
Daily routine
As she helps her daughter out of her crib, Talbi gets her morning kisses in and then the video cuts to her feeding the child with a spoon nestled between her toes. And, to be fair, most of us have trouble getting any food into a toddler’s mouth even with two hands!
When the snack is finished, Talbi simply picks the bowl up with her mouth to take it into the kitchen.
Getting it done
When the video cuts to Talbi doing dishes, it looks like nothing is amiss at first – until you realize those aren’t hands doing the scrubbing but feet. She’s become so dexterous that her legs and feet can maneuver to do just about anything.
Putting a sweater on requires some serious flexibility, but she’s mastered that skill too.
Just imagine trying to do that with your legs and feet!
Viewers amazed
It appears that YouTube viewers were just as stunned as we were by her abilities.
“I refuse to feel sorry for her because honestly there’s nothing to be sorry for. There’s nothing she can’t do! She’s a true inspiration especially for people with a physical disability,” one woman said.
Others felt that Talbi could get more done with her feet than they could with their hands. And nearly everyone commented on what a wonderful mother she seemed to be.
“I think she is raising her daughter to be strong and independent and she can accomplish anything without arms and overcome any problem that is thrown her way.”
We couldn’t agree more!
