She met me as a rebellious teenager and has pushed me in many ways to grow up, and use my own experiences to help others because that is exactly what she did with me. Vicki has been instrumental in my healing process, and is a honor to have as part of our Warrior Mentality Family! Join us and ask yourself, Would You Stand In The Gap, for someone?

This episode explains my story. It gives us a base to build from and explains why there is such a great need for a podcast that shows vulnerability and realness. It shows the importance of doing small things every day to make our tomorrow better!!

I believe being a warrior goes above just surviving some tough situations. I believe it means being a role model for the people around you , and showing them a different way. It means standing in the gap for your neighbor, it means being the change you want to see in the world.

Just a quick intro/explanation of what The Warrior Podcast is all about.
