    22. Kody Schaffner: Powered by Resilience — Heart Failure, Hope & Fighting Back

    Send us a text Kody Schaffner’s life is powered by resilience — literally. Living with advanced heart failure, Kody (@justadudeonbatteries) relies on a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), a mobile life-support system that keeps his heart pumping and his future moving forward. But Kody’s story isn’t just about survival — it’s about perspective, gratitude, and refusing to let fear define your life.  In this episode, Kody opens up about what it’s really like to live with an LVAD, the realities of open-heart surgery, and how quickly life can change when your health is no longer guaranteed. We talk about vulnerability, healing, patience, and learning how to find purpose in uncertainty. Kody shares how he reframed strength, learned to accept help, and continues to show up with hope even on the hardest days.  This conversation is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn’t always look loud or dramatic — sometimes it looks like waking up, adapting, and choosing to keep going.  ⏱️ Chapter Timestamps  1.

    21. Miguel Jimenez Vergara: Pushing Beyond Limits — Racing, Resilience & Relentless Drive

    Send us a text Miguel Jimenez Vergara is a competitive adaptive athlete, wheelchair racer, and one of the most unstoppable humans you’ll ever meet. From a young age, Miguel felt a deep pull toward movement, competition, and testing both his body and his mind. Over the years, that pull turned into a lifestyle built on consistency, challenge, and an unwavering commitment to becoming better every single day.  In this episode, Miguel opens up about the mindset behind his training, why he chases discomfort, and how racing became both his outlet and his compass. We talk about identity, discipline, burnout, mental toughness, and the quiet battles people rarely see — the internal work that fuels true resilience. Miguel’s story isn’t about recovering from one defining moment… it’s about choosing to grow through thousands of small, intentional ones.  Whether you’re an athlete, someone rebuilding your confidence, or someone searching for purpose, Miguel’s perspective will leave you fired up and rethinking what you’re capable of. 1.

    20. Lydia Richard: Reclaiming Power After Trauma — From Wounds 2 Wealth

    Send us a text There came a moment when Lydia Richard (@wounds2wealth) chose to stop letting trauma dictate her life — it would become the beginning of her power.  Lydia is a businesswoman, personal development coach, and mother whose journey from surviving sexual assault to rebuilding her identity is a profound example of what it looks like to transform pain into purpose. Her story isn’t about pretending everything is fine — it’s about doing the hard, intentional work of healing, reclaiming worth, and choosing to rise. In this conversation, we talk about the emotional and psychological layers of recovery, the courage it takes to face your story, and how Lydia built a life rooted in strength, faith, mindset, and self-respect. She reminds us that healing isn’t quick or clean — but it is possible, and it can lead to a richer and more meaningful life than before.  If you’re in a season where hope feels far away, Lydia’s voice is one you’ll want to hear.  Connect with Lydia here:  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wounds2wealth/  • Website: https://lydiarichard.com/?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnyjvyDxUpxOVJuAUssQrMTcYs6bET36bBdhDcyZA_tzv2mbM4kxX8ysOyf8w_aem_gv43-8oFBM3o-8jXDWOidA  • Coaching / Resources: https://stan.store/wounds2wealth?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnmzZmMlOlj0RwV4G2Q7APyA6G9SbgAjcMFpZP_l_EcBuJ_HlhEJl7J_9-SHs_aem_NrVK_HRStzhBvokeK1fajg  Connect with us here:  • Website: https://www.sickburnpodcast.com  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickburnpod  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thomascraigviii  • Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thomascraigviii  🎧 Mahalo for tuning in!

    Send us a text Geoff Real has spent his life proving that strength isn’t defined by what you have — it’s built by what you refuse to give up.  Born with one hand, Geoff refused to let circumstance define him.

    18. Abbey Alexander: Finding Joy After the Fire — Healing, Humor & Resilience

    Send us a text Five years ago, Abbey Alexander’s life changed forever.  While teaching English abroad in Cambodia, she was caught in a sudden gas explosion that left her with severe burns across much of her body — and a journey that would test every part of her spirit.  But Abbey’s story is more than survival. It’s about humor in the healing, growth through hardship, and the courage to start again — even when everything you once knew is gone. From facing medical debt and recovery setbacks to finding love, purpose, and joy again, Abbey reminds us that life after tragedy can still be beautiful, messy, and full of laughter. Her story is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and choosing happiness — not despite the scars, but because of them.  Connect with Abbey here:  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_.abbeyy/  • Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FJMRWQ54?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_DN0H51WBS4TSS7EBAM1E&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_DN0H51WBS4TSS7EBAM1E&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_DN0H51WBS4TSS7EBAM1E&bestFormat=true&csmig=1&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAacWn7TeUcPqV6CMl0KWX6aZt-qm257C0Q26D0MWhqpLVgSLurCMY_4ZkyGH9g_aem_8XEEQmgJfQjQIbJ0Y5yp3g  • Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/abbeyiskewl2/  Connect with us here:  • Website: https://www.sickburnpodcast.com  • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickburnpod  • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thomascraigviii  • Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thomascraigviii  🎧 Mahalo for tuning in!
