Beautiful Strength: The Podcast

Today we sit down with Chelsea Gibson. Chelsea is polite, beautiful, and has a smile that lights up a room (or better yet, an entire Vanfest!). From the moment I met her I knew I wanted us to be friends. The more she talked and the more I listened, I realized she's even more badass than I thought! Wife, mom, Veteran, and technology professional, she's a female who has worked her ass off in traditionally male-dominated roles and rose to the top of her field. She's overcome many obstacles in her life, and has used them to catapult herself into the life she is living today. We discuss drug use, life decisions, family life, being a mom to two young boys, military service, marriage, being a woman, and sexual assault. Chelsea has used her pain and life situations and found a voice of empowerment for other women. She tells her story because she knows someone else out there has gone through a similar situation and by telling her story she hopes it comforts and empowers others to heal from their own story.

In this episode we sit down with Marines Adam Gibson and Jessica Rambo. Both Skoolie dwellers and veteran badasses who share the same love of Siemper Fi and a Once a Marine Always a Marine mentality who continue to find family on the road. Adam and Jessica talk about enlisting, undeniable comradery, difficulties of being a marine, the honor they had in serving, life after discharge, and what they are doing in their own circles to make impacts on the lives of other Veterans.
