Lee's Heart: Healing Through EMS and Veteran Retreats & Community - Conversations with Founders with TJ & Abe
from Chokeholds and Chill Podcast · host chokeholdsandchillpod
This week, we sit down with TJ and Abe, the founders of Lee’s Heart—a nonprofit built on grit, healing, and the power of adventure. As combat veterans and flight paramedics, these two saw the impact of trauma up close. But they also discovered something unexpected: Jiu Jitsu and it's community as a lifeline. What started as a coping tool has become a powerful retreat experience for first responders, helping them reconnect to purpose, peace, and each other. We talk about nervous system regulation, community building, and why movement is medicine—especially for those who’ve spent their lives saving others. 💛 Learn more or support their mission: www.leesheart.org 📸 Follow them on Instagram: @leesheart_
