Ivan Luiz Hernandez was born with a heart defect, yet defied all odds playing sports as a teen and working out six times a week into adulthood. One day, while living in New York at the pinnacle of his career, he was surprised to learn he needed open heart surgery and hid the operation from everyone he could. But that was only the beginning. Additional procedures, PTSD, and even agoraphobia would follow, with his journey developing into a “super power” he utilizes now in his newfound approach to life and as a business consultant, author, and entrepreneur. Its an amazing story!!

TRIGGER WARNING: Drug addiction and suicide.
Of all the episodes we have had so far on our Podcast journey, this may be one of the heaviest, so we do recommend listener discretion. Please know that we have kept in the whole story, so we can focus on the strength, courage and hope that comes with going through an experience like this. Our guest Beth, realized that her partner, and father of her young son, was in trouble when she found bottles of Opioids hidden around the house. After another deployment to Afghanistan, his drug use would get so bad that they would separate. His visits to their son would be fewer and further between and it became noticeable he was high each time, to the point that she felt it was unsafe. Eventually, and heartbreakingly, the opioids would turn to heroin, and his story would end in Suicide. We hear about the tragic moments when Beth had to explain to their young son what had happened, and how they started on the journey of grief together, It's utterly devastating, inspiring, and incredibly humbling. Hang in there until the end as we hear how things are now, just 3 years on. Wow.

Jorge V Gonzalez shares his personal journey of reinvention, after spending two decades perfecting his craft, Jorge was faced with a disability after a bad accident, that left him unable to continue working, and plunged him into the depths of darkness. But rather than succumbing to anger and grief, he drew inspiration from his family's legacy of taking calculated risks and began to pursue a path forward with new found strength. Jorge talks about his family who moved to the USA from Mexico in search for a better life, and drew from the courage of his Grandparents, so he could honor them, and they would be proud of who he was.
Jorge shares the lesson that with the right mindset, setbacks can be transformed into opportunities for growth and self-discovery. He emphasizes the importance of resilience, hard work, and high expectations in achieving success and reinventing oneself. By sharing his own experiences and examples, Jorge hopes to inspire and empower others to pursue their true purpose in life.

This was a mind blowing episode. Luke and Kyle discuss Emma's story, from the bravery of the years of surgery and the eventual loss of her eye, to the deceit and mistrust caused by her then husband. It played out like a movie and Emma is so strong to share her story with others. We hope her story helps give courage to others.

Dr Lisa Smith is a professor, hypnotherapist, author, and advocate who has helped many people for the past 20+ years overcome trauma from PTSD, abuse (physical, sexual & emotional) & other mental health issues. In many cases, she is likely the only person that her clients confide in regarding their sexual assault or rape. This is a very hard hitting episode so be warned! Lisa discusses a number of Sexual Violence incidents within her own family, in her own home! She he would learn that these such incidents were not isolated, and soon realized that the issue of Sexual Assault in her community was all too common. She made it her mission to raise awareness and convince people and parents that young children and teens must learn about grooming and targeting so that, as a community, they can reduce the number of sexual assaults against children and youth. Some of the statistics you will hear in the episode are utterly mind bending, and we thank Dr Lisa Smith for sharing her knowledge and story.

Mental Health awareness is such an important thing. A huge lack of understanding, and compassion, led to some seriously traumatizing situations in Lisa's Story. Next week, May 20th 2021, is Mental Health Action Day. Kyle and Luke are not experts, but we are learning a thing or two through these stories, and we hope you are too!
