“I ground myself in my desire to help people…My greatest attribute is my heart.”

“…redefine the role of a fitness professional to a wellness professional…we are the solution…”

Welcome to yet another EPIC episode of the Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast with special guest and fitness icon, Debbie Bellenger!

Joining the show from Massachusetts, Jeffrey is here to share his tumultuous, yet triumphant gifts of wisdom and compassion that came through the trauma he endured along his healing process. Diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis as a child, and practically failing out of life as a teen, Jeffrey was given an opportunity that would forever change the trajectory of his life. Listen closely as Jeffrey recounts the time he spent working closely with children living with HIV/AIDS and hemophilia, and how it inspired him to not only become a nurse, but also to lead a life of love and compassion. Jeffrey also speaks about how he was able to draw strength from the most difficult situations and learn to “pay attention to intention.” This episode will move your soul!
