Sometimes with our diagnoses, we need to walk alongside it. And in doing so and embracing this journey of ours, that's when we come to realize that we are not our diagnoses, we walk alongside it.
Imagine surviving a gunshot wound inflicted by someone you once loved, only to be let down by the very institution meant to protect you. That's the harrowing reality J.J. Celli faced. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with J.J., a detective whose life took a dramatic turn when she was shot by her ex-girlfriend and subsequently abandoned by her own police department. Despite the betrayal and trauma, J.J. refused to be broken.
She taught herself to shoot with her left hand, got sober, and found solace in poetry. Her journey from the depths of despair to a place of healing and resilience is nothing short of remarkable. Tune in to hear J.J.'s powerful story of recovery and the incredible strength of the human spirit.
