V-S-T Victim-Survivor-THRIVER
My passion and commitment with V-S-T ❤ is to share the REAL, honest, raw, light, and heavy of life and love in this CRAZY, TRAGIC, SOMETIMES ALMOST MAGIC, AWFUL, BEAUTIFUL LIFE. (I have a musical brain and relate most everything to song lyrics.) If these words don’t perfectly sum up life, I don’t know what does. Life is a big adventure full of challenges (lessons) and blessings. When we learn to embrace uncertainty and challenges as a blessing too, the game of life changes. Victim, Survivor, THRIVER. We all face adversity in life. It is easy to feel like we are the only ones going through the "messy" of life sometimes. Especially in the days of social media highlight reels. While I do love a good highlight reel, I want to share the REAL stuff. The stories of people moving through real life, all the joy and the pain (the messy and the magic) to show others they are not alone. My hope is to offer hope, insight and resources to our Tribe. Together we can laugh, cry, grow, be inspired, inspire, and learn how to be grateful for the blessings and the lessons, so that we can all THRIVE.

A Heroes Healing Journey with Nick Jones
In this episode I am honored to visit with Nick Jones. Nick is a retired Marine Raider, recipient of the 2nd highest military decoration, the Navy Cross, awarded to sailors and Marines who distinguish themselves for extraordinary heroism in combat with an armed enemy force. In addition to the navy cross he has received the purple heart and the navy and marine corps commendation medal with combat V for valor, among other awards. During a battle with Isis in March of 2020 Nick was shot while working to help comrades escape, fight off Isis attackers, and recover the bodies of two of his fellow Marie Raiders. Gunnery Sgt Diego D Pongo and Capt. Moises A Navas may they never be forgotten.
Nick has, as you can imagine walked through pain and adversity, having found his calling in serving our country, committing to doing whatever it takes to be and do his best, to losing his purpose and too many brothers. Nick is still walking through the pain physically, mentally and emotionally. He shares his walk with us today and how he is healing and helping other warriors find healing too.
