Become the Victor Podcast

In today’s episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with Wes Woodson, a mental health advocate, keynote speaker, and author of "I Have Anxiety (So What?)", to discuss his extraordinary journey from battling anxiety, surviving an abusive relationship, and experiencing suicidal thoughts to finding hope, rebuilding his self-worth, and transforming his darkest moments into a mission to inspire others.

During one of the most difficult nights of his life, Wes found himself overwhelmed by loneliness, emotional pain, and thoughts of ending his life. At approximately 4 AM, he made a decision that would change the direction of his future: calling a suicide prevention hotline. On the other end of that phone call was a stranger named Janice, whose compassion, willingness to listen, and reminder that it was okay not to be okay helped him find the courage to seek professional support. What began as a conversation between two strangers became a turning point that would ultimately shape the man, he is today.

In today’s episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy advocate Angelina Olivera for a powerful conversation about caregiving, advocacy, faith, and a mother’s fight for her son. Angelina’s journey with Duchenne began long before she became a mother. After growing up alongside two brothers who lived with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and later passed away, she would eventually face the unimaginable reality of learning that her own son, Ryu, had the same diagnosis.

Today, Angelina is Ryu’s full-time caregiver and a passionate voice for the Duchenne and rare disease communities. She opens up about watching her son progressively lose physical abilities, navigating anticipatory grief, raising his sisters alongside him, and finding the strength to take life one day at a time. Angelina also shares how her fight for Ryu led her all the way to Washington, D.C., where she has spoken with lawmakers and advocated for greater urgency, awareness, and access to potentially life-changing treatments for families affected by Duchenne.

Elijah J. Stacy joins Become the Victor Podcast to share his extraordinary journey living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and turning a progressive disease into a mission to change the future of it. Diagnosed at six years old, Elijah would eventually lose his ability to walk and experience progressive muscle weakness, but at just 15 years old, after learning more about what Duchenne could take from him, he decided he wasn't going to simply accept the future placed in front of him. He founded Destroy Duchenne and began a lifelong mission to fight the disease affecting him, his family, and thousands of others around the world.

Throughout this conversation, Elijah opens up about his younger brother Kai, the loss of his brother Max, founding Destroy Duchenne, entering the biotechnology world, working with scientists, writing his book A Small If, entrepreneurship, investing, and his greater mission to minimize human suffering. He also shares the deeply personal story of his mother being diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer and how the roles suddenly reversed after spending his entire life watching his mother advocate for him, Elijah found himself using his knowledge, connections, and determination to advocate for her.

What happens when life keeps taking away your physical strength, but you refuse to let it take away your voice? In this episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with Dominick Trevethan, a disability advocate, communication professional, and creator of The Disability Myth who lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2.

Dominick shares the extraordinary adversity that shaped his life from growing up around addiction and losing his father at a young age to undergoing spinal fusion surgery at 13 and experiencing a life threatening medical crisis that resulted in an emergency tracheostomy. After being told he would likely remain dependent on a ventilator around the clock, he continued adapting and eventually reached a point where he no longer needed ventilator support during the day.

Carlos Murillo once believed there was “nothing out there for us.” Adaptive sports eventually showed him a completely different reality... one filled with competition, freedom, possibility, and a growing belief that nothing is impossible.

Born with spina bifida, Carlos shares how growing up with a disability affected his childhood, including struggling to make friends and often keeping to himself. Music and social media became outlets, but another major turning point arrived in 2007 when he was introduced to adaptive sports through wheelchair basketball. From there, he began exploring wheelchair football, sled hockey, tennis, rugby, softball, paramotoring, ziplining, and other adaptive activities, eventually reaching the point where he no longer saw himself as someone simply trying a sport, but as an adaptive athlete.

In today's episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with Peggy and Danielle, who share the deeply personal story behind the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund and the experiences that have shaped 50 years of impact. Peggy reflects on her daughter Kelly Anne’s diagnosis with aplastic anemia, the rare leukemia that later became terminal, and the years her family spent navigating hospitalizations, blood transfusions, fear, and uncertainty.

Before Kelly Anne passed away, Peggy and her husband made the decision to create something in her memory that could help other families with needs insurances often did not cover. What started without a roadmap eventually grew into an organization that survived recessions, funding crises, leadership transitions, and decades of change while continuing to support families facing serious illnesses, disability, and medical hardship. Today, Danielle is helping lead the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund into its next chapter.

In today's episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with Tenaya Yarbrough Maxwell, who opens up about the difficult experiences that reshaped her identity, strengthened her faith, and eventually helped her turn pain into purpose. She reflects on spending more than 20 years in an abusive marriage, slowly losing herself while trying to keep the peace, and realizing that self-abandonment can happen one compromise at a time.

She shares how grief, overwhelming responsibilities, chronic migraines, and moments of deep emotional pain forced her to reevaluate what she was carrying and what she needed to release. Through faith, boundaries, solitude, and learning how to reconnect with herself, she began rebuilding the woman she believed God was calling her to become.

In today's episode of Become the Victor Podcast, I sit down with psychic, medium, and intuitive Chris Medina for a conversation that goes far beyond predictions or communicating with spirits. Chris opens up about experiencing what he describes as psychic and mediumistic abilities from childhood, being severely bullied, seeking medical help when he feared he was hearing voices, navigating a turbulent period involving relationships, working in the insurance industry for nearly 20 years, and reaching a major identity shift in 2014.

The conversation eventually moves beyond Chris Medina the psychic and into Chris Medina the person. He discusses self forgiveness, the scars that remain after difficult experiences, setting boundaries with family, learning not to disappoint himself just to avoid disappointing others, managing difficult emotions, and why he believes true evolution requires changing more than surface level habits. He also makes an important announcement during the episode for the first time regarding his name!

Emma Victoria thought the lump she felt at the gym was an injury. Weeks later, she was confronting stage IV breast cancer, a prognosis she says gave her a few months to live. Before her diagnosis, she had a business for nearly 10 years, managing staff and clients.

Today, Emma says she is living differently. She values peace over material things, has learned to put herself first, supports other cancer patients who contact her online, and is writing a book about survival, hope, faith, and what it means to rise after reaching some of life’s darkest places.

There are dreams people discover for themselves, and there are dreams that begin generations earlier. For Joy Ndombeson, the path from a small village in Congo to growing a life in acting, writing, directing, music, and filmmaking is inseparable from the father who first taught him to believe that where a person begins does not have to determine where they ultimately go.

Joy lost the man who helped make his entire journey possible and for a period of his life, he did not know if he wanted to keep living without him. What followed was a painful journey through grief, therapy, shattered faith, creative rebirth, and the decision to keep carrying his father’s legacy forward.
