On Scar Bearers, I discuss my battle with necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) and other stories, and how those experiences didn’t make me perfect; they made me better!

I also interview others who have faced major struggles and still persevered, reaching the summit on the other side of the valley and often climbing higher than before.

We also get geeky occasionally. 😉

Please join me and contribute to this imperfect, yet fantastic and fun community!

    Paul Forchione was born with cerebral palsy and it was so severe that the doctors told his mom that he would never be able to walk. Thank goodness for a wonderful mom and a great mindset that wasn’t his story! He was able to overcome it and is now able to live a very active life. It wasn’t easy, however, to get to that point. Today, as a Mindset Coach, Paul shares his story with his clients to help them rewrite their own stories to go after their true dreams and desires.

Chris teaches us how to thrive with scars.

This podcast is a very unique blessing. Chris teaches us that no matter what you’ve gone through and even if you’re reminded of it every single day you can still have an attitude of gratitude. Every morning Chris wakes up and looks in the mirror at her life so radically changed for him but his attitude going forward is why people from all across the country gravitate towards him his positivity is infectious!

Scar Bearers Has Heart and Chris DT Gordon was an EXCELLENT Podcast Host!

Scar Bearers Has Heart and Chris DT Gordon was an EXCELLENT Podcast Host! I'm a bit biased as I was a guest on his podcast Scar Bearers recently. Chris was very thoughtful and he asked all the right questions to ensure to inspire his audience. We discussed overcoming a massive financial failure and the Simple 3 Step Formula to Get Your Mojo Back. Search for our episode to get the formula! We also discussed how I help aspiring speakers and "entrepreneurs with a message" to enable their courage and confidence and launch their speaker business in 90 days or less using my 3 Step Accelerated Awareness Framework. Thanks Chris for giving me the opportunity to contribute to your listeners!

Excellent host and amazing show!

Chris was an excellent host, and I had a fantastic time interviewing with him! He has great energy, an engaging sense of humor, and it really was a pleasure to get to talk with him. If you're looking for encouragement, empathy, and energy, then this is a show you need to check out!
