“You have a 100% track record of figuring it out.” It’s easy to think that when everything is going your way, but that’s the same mantra Amy thought as she learned she had north of $100,000 stolen from her as she was starting a new office. Once you go through something like that, and come out the other side still standing, you’ve gained a bit of perspective…

In this podcast, Amy opens up about the many struggles, hardships, and wins she’s experienced along her “mompreneurial” journey. If you love a good triumph story, grab yourself some coffee and become inspired!

Join us for this engaging chat with Chad McLean, former Army Ranger on PTSD, healing with TRE, psychedelics and more!

Raised by a single mom and an alcoholic dad, Chad is no stranger to trauma. The army seemed like a way out. He worked his way up to special forces with the Rangers. 1 bad injury led to pain meds and stupid decisions - a story many have dealt with and faced on their journey. 

He shares his story along with so many of things that have helped him find his way through pain, PTSD and his own mental health battle, including being suicidal 2.5 years ago. Mikel Vega was a former seal who introduced him to TRE, trauma and tension releasing exercises that Chad now teaches at Healing Space yoga studio. This is an amazing way to help release and resolve trauma stuck in the body so that it no longer triggers you or impacts responses. Find out more at his website we listed below. 

He shares indepth information about ketamine, many psychedelics and his incredible journey to creating his own company, Mental Joe Apparel and their inspiring mission. 

Meet Chad and his amazing family over at www.mentaljoe.com, which is a 501c3 charitable organization with products made in the USA!
