    Chronic Victory Podcast #89 - Science, Theories & Mind-blowing stuff.

    Chronic Victory Podcast #89 - Science, Theories & Mind-blowing stuff.

    Science fiction is only just science fiction, until it becomes science.   

    What if we can go from feeling small in a supermassive and big place, to feeling like a part of something big, in a supermassive and big place... Something important and rare, to which when there is something wrong with us physically, ranging all the way from from illness & pain, to hating how fat or wrinkly or ugly we feel.. that becomes irrelevant, because we are so much more!

    Quantum Physics, theories of our universe and what we are... Just what does this have to do with anything? Well, there are two main reasons why I am talking about these things which can benefit us all.  Let's talk!

    Here is my "because of the internet" Disclaimer:  Today's episode has some wild stuff and I'm not 100% sure how much is true, however I'm entertained just thinking and talking about it all! :)

    Chronic Victory Podcast #88 - I was feeling lonely.

    I was feeling lonely today and hopped on the mic after receiving an incredibly kind message from a listener.  Join me in this nonsensical, yet much needed time of rambling and fun!

    Chronic Victory Podcast #87 - PTSD & The Pursuit of Peace

    In this episode, I discuss true Stoicism, our emotions, two different mind exercises I learned to fight against PTSD flashbacks, and how life isn't a pursuit of happiness, but a pursuit of peace.

    STAY IN THE FIGHT.

    Chronic Victory Podcast #86 - Thinking Small

    Chronic Victory Podcast #86 - Thinking Small

     "Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing" -Zeno

    In this episode, we discuss "thinking small", how that benefits our lives, and what may  come in succession of it.  LIFE is going to happen regardless of how you feel about it. What we should focus on is what we are going to DO about it.  

    STAY IN THE FIGHT.

    Chronic Victory Podcast #85 - Default Aggressive

    Chronic Victory Podcast #85 - Default Aggressive

    I first learned about “Default aggressive" from former US Navy SEAL's  Leif Babin & Jocko Willink ( check out Jocko Podcast or read their book "Extreme Ownership" for more intel).  This concept is an awesome way to approach life and we should remember it! 

    "Default Aggressive" means that you’re being proactive instead of reactive. It means that you’re taking action in life, rather than being a passive bystander watching your life go by.

What do you do when things get hard

This podcast bridges the gap between discipline equals freedom and chronic illness, and it does so with grace, real talk, and a stoic mindset. If you live with a chronic illness, and want to grapple with it and not give up, you’ve found the place.
