Can Life's Greatest Adversities Become Our Strongest Triumphs?
In this episode, we delve into the incredible story of J.R. Martinez, a true testament to turning life's greatest adversities into powerful and inspiring narratives. J.R. Martinez, a former U.S. Army soldier, will not forget the harrowing roadside bomb explosion that left him with severe burns on 34% of his body. Enduring 34 months of recovery and 33 surgeries, J.R.'s journey of healing forged an unbreakable spirit and a renewed sense of purpose.
Without a clear path forward, J.R. would be challenged to make peace with his new identity and what this would mean for the future. Yet, since this life changing event, J.R. has been on a trajectory previously unimagined. From the battlefields of Iraq to winning ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and acting on "All My Children," J.R. embodies optimism, resilience and what it means to live fully.
In his memoir, "Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength, and Spirit," J.R. gives us a glimpse into what he has realized when you lean in, listen and learn. Join us as we explore J.R. Martinez's extraordinary life lessons, the power of vulnerability and the value of hope.
