114 | A Story of Anger and Redemption with Blake Mattocks

The Military Veteran Dad Podcast

Is your life happening to you or for you?

This question trips me up at least once a week when I hit a setback or run into a feeling that I can't shake.

A lot of those times those feelings are rooted in a deeper feeling that I haven't looked at or dealt with. And to quote Elsa, its typically something I just needed to "let it go."

Blake has a story that looking back with a 20/20 perspective of life, it is clear to me his life was unfolding in a way that was preparing him for bigger trials, bigger tests requiring larger acts of courage and integrity.

If you are at a point in your life where you are struggling to get through and find the right path, I am certain this episode will be a flashlight for you.
