Old Chicks Know Sh*t Podcast

How Resilience and Belief Turned Tragedy Into Triumph


Listen Later

This week we turn the podcast spotlight to an incredible story of resilience and triumph with disabled army veteran, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Major Jas Boothe.  Having survived a military career-ending illness, depression, and homelessness all while navigating single motherhood Jas dug deep to find a way to turn each tragedy into triumph. Instead of allowing her life experience to get her down, instead, she asked - "What's next?" and started her own non-profit, ‘Final Salute Inc’ which raised over $4 Million to provide homeless veterans with housing. That resilience now has her positioned as an entrepreneur with a skincare line focused on helping women focus on self-care.
 
Tune in to hear this amazingly inspiring story of tragedy that led to a spiritual journey of self-love and belief.
