Real Change in Health & Healing for Our Veterans and Beyond
Sharon Jackson is a Veteran and public servant from Alaska with a heart to bring better medical care to our Veterans and beyond. In this episode, we covered the difference between being a humanitarian and a politician and how she used the struggle she went through as a stroke survivor to inform her knowledge of better medicines and practices that are out there that allowed her to restore her health and heal. Her love and energy are palpable and she is leading the charge to bring generational healing to our Vets and their families.
Healing America's Heros
In this episode, I talk with Kevin Vance, a former Special Ops Veteran and first responder about what it truly takes to heal from trauma. Despite what he has seen and experienced in his line of duty, and the pain he carries from it, he has a zen-like awareness of what it means to be a good human who can truly contribute to the people around him. From parenting to plant medicine, this conversation is all about getting out of your head and living from the heart.
How To Help Our Veterans Heal
As brave as they have been on the battlefield, two Combat Controllers and American heroes, Kyle Stanbro and Joe O’Keefe share what it’s like to learn to heal from the wounds that war inflicts and create the ripple effect of healing that families need.
Breaking the Addiction Cycle
After spending time in prison, former Marine Mike O’Dell put in the work to heal his life path and relationships with the help of Warriors Heart, where he now works to help other Vets find a healing path.
Animal Allies - Healing and Service through Sierra DeltaÂ
BJ Ganem is a Veteran who has dedicated his days to building Sierra Delta, an organization serving Veterans and the canine companions they are matched with to brighten their days and invigorate their post military life. BJ learned that animals can be a powerful ally to the healing process when he lost his leg in combat and his own relationship with his dog literally saved his life. His passion to serve others and turn adversity into incredible strength is one you won’t want to miss.
The Genetics of Risk Taking
Brian Bielmann is a legendary surf photographer who has risked life and limb to capture the magic of some of the biggest waves and surf careers in the sport from Kelly Slater to Kai Lenny. His son Jesse is a decorated Combat Controller, a division of Special Forces that most have never heard of and who’s military training is unparalleled even in the world of military special forces. We dug into surf culture, patriotism and whether they think there is a genetic component to the types of risks we take as humans.Â
