#TBT to a historic moment in my professional speaking career at @filmlinc. 🗽Words cannot express my gratitude to take the stage and share my story of tragedy turned triumph after sustaining multiple traumatic brain injuries that led to quadriplegia and paraplegia. Before I became a Fire Fighter/EMT, TV Fitness Expert, and ever began training celebrities for film and television roles, professional leagues and athletes, and runway models, I was humbled by my own journey to beat the odds against me. Defeat was never an option. Grit and grace carried me through.. I also spoke of the benefits of fitness, nutrition, regeneration, and spiritual well-being. I had the honor to work with and train Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Survivors in New York. To stand and speak in front of many other thought leaders was an unimaginable opportunity. I believe we each have a special gift to offer the world, whether it be a passion, calling or both. Today I acknowledge and celebrate those who give of themselves to transform individuals and issues on a global level. 🎤#thoughtleadership
