September 19, 2024 · 38 min

On this episode, I’m honored to welcome an incredibly resilient and inspiring guest, Joanica Santos. Joanica has faced more challenges in a short time than many do in a lifetime, from surviving an abusive marriage to enduring the tragic loss of her cousin, and overcoming personal injury. Despite these hardships, she remains a beacon of positivity, faith, and strength. A devoted Christian and fitness enthusiast, Joanica continues to inspire others through her perseverance. 

We discuss the adversities that Joanica has been through, and how her faith has helped come out stronger than ever. In addition to her Christian journey, we discuss Joanica embracing the personal development community, and her love of the gym.

 

This episode is dedicated to 22 Too Many Veteran:
