Keep Moving Part 1: Change Your Perspective

Welcome to part one of my Keep Moving series! Through this series, I will be interviewing Burn Boot Camp members who have all been faced with adversity, but chose to overcome it to keep moving forward in their lives. Tune in to be inspired, motivated and empowered to keep moving forward in your life, too, despite your current circumstances!    In this episode, I sit down to chat with Burn Boot Camp Hanesport member, Jilian Grahl.  After collapsing one day, Grahl was rushed to the hospital and was eventually diagnosed with Arnold-Chiari Malformation which began a decade-long struggle through surgeries and chronic pain. Before this incident, Grahl felt fulfilled by her work as a police officer because it allowed her to help people and ensure that others were safe, happy, and protected. After her diagnosis, this was abruptly taken from her and she struggled to find a purpose that left her feeling fulfilled. But, she soon found a new purpose in sharing her story and helping others with chronic pain and those who are diagnosed with life threatening medical conditions.   Key Takeaway: You aren’t in control of what life throws at you, but you are in control of how you react to it and fight against it.   Highlights: How Jilian overcame medical obstacles and fought to move forward without dwelling in the past.  There’s a light on the other side of your struggle, you just have to keep fighting in order to get there. How hitting rock bottom motivated Jilian to rebuild her life. Why it is so important to find your passion and purpose. Why you shouldn't compare yourself to others and what they have on the outside.
