Jeremy Wells joins me on Celebrate the Struggle today to chat about his journey to becoming a business owner of Wells Firearms & Training. Wells is an Army Veteran whose passion for weapons and teaching others has led him down a path to doing just that. Wells educates others on firearms safety, but also continues to prioritize ongoing learning himself. He has created a business in the community that brings people together. A place where people can connect and share that camaraderie. One thing that Wells says he always wants to make a priority is keeping that human connection with his clients.

I think by now we have all heard the term "post traumatic stress disorder" or PTSD, but have you heard about post traumatic growth? Post traumatic growth is the journey that one can take after trauma that comes to them.

Life is not linear. It is full of ups and downs. I encourage you to focus on the strength that got you to where you are today rather than your shortcomings. I challenge you to not focus on other's shortcomings all the time. "It is not so difficult to develop a loving attitude toward yourself and others. Rather than searching for shortcomings, love watches for any sign of light and strength. It sees how far each one has come, not how far he has to go." EDGE Keynote

 At twenty-two Jared Diehl was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and joins me today to share about how he has not allowed his struggles to keep him from making an impact in this world. Jared shares about his suicidal ideations and his attempt to take his life which left him in a coma. Seven days later he woke up. After five months in recovery, he couldn't figure out why he was still sad even after SURVIVING a suicide attempt.  Jared's journey goes on as he works through the processes that come with life's challenges and learning more about mental health. He is not now working to use his struggles to make an impact in this world, sharing his voice and getting involved in other organizations. Check out his blog and podcast LOUDER NOW to learn more about his journey and what he has learned. I admire you Jared! Keep up the good work and thank you for coming on to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
