I think acceptance was a good part of that. And you know, one of the key things I always said and I still say Today is: the world is not going to adapt to you.
Imagine losing both hands and the sight in one eye in an instant. That's exactly what happened to Retired U.S. Army SFC Michael Schlitz during a road-clearing mission in Baghdad, Iraq, in 2007. In this episode of the Struggle Well Podcast, hosts Ken Falke and Josh Goldberg sit down with Mike to uncover his incredible journey from surviving a catastrophic IED explosion to becoming a beacon of hope and resilience for fellow veterans.
Mike's story is not just about surviving trauma; it's about finding a new purpose and meaning in life after unimaginable loss. He talks candidly about the physical and emotional battles he faced, the importance of accepting his new reality, and how he transformed his pain into a mission of service and growth. Working with the Gary Sinise Foundation and partnering with the Boulder Crest team, Mike now mentors other veterans, guiding them through their own journeys of posttraumatic growth.
This episode delves into the significance of leadership, mentorship, and community support in the veteran community. Mike emphasizes that veterans have a vital role to play in society and encourages them to be proactive in addressing community issues. His story is a powerful reminder that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, it's possible to find strength, purpose, and a way to thrive. Tune in to hear Mike's inspiring tale of resilience and transformation.
