In this powerful episode of the Silvercore Podcast, Travis Bader sits down with combat veteran Chance Burles to explore his journey of recovery and self-discovery after suffering both physical and psychological trauma from an IED explosion.
Chance shares how embracing mindfulness and reconnecting with nature has been pivotal in his healing process, not only as a means of personal recovery but also in becoming a more attuned and successful hunter. Together, they delve into the transformative power of community, the profound lessons learned through equine therapy, and the inspiration behind 'The Collective,' a platform Chance co-founded to support veterans in navigating life’s challenges. This conversation is a testament to resilience, the importance of authentic connections, and finding strength in vulnerability.
