Episode 24: Faith and Resilience with Joanica Santos

Sep 19, 2024

On this episode, I’m honored to welcome an incredibly resilient and inspiring guest, Joanica Santos. Joanica has faced more challenges in a short time than many do in a lifetime, from surviving an abusive marriage to enduring the tragic loss of her cousin, and overcoming personal injury. Despite these hardships, she remains a beacon of positivity, faith, and strength. A devoted Christian and fitness enthusiast, Joanica continues to inspire others through her perseverance. 

We discuss the adversities that Joanica has been through, and how her faith has helped come out stronger than ever. In addition to her Christian journey, we discuss Joanica embracing the personal development community, and her love of the gym.

 

This episode is dedicated to 22 Too Many Veteran:

Heather Bass

Heather Renea Bass, Oklahoma City resident, passed away Tuesday, January 12, 2016 at her residence at the age of 42. She was born October 13, 1973 in Tahlequah, OK.

Heather enlisted in the United States Army and served her country proudly. She retired from the Army with the rank of Sergeant after several years of service.

Heather loved woodwork. OSU was her team. She loved all of her family members, near and far. She had a job playing with the children.

Today, in Tempe, AZ at the 22 Too Many 5k held on 06/17/17, Heather’s picture was proudly carried by her cousin as she raced in Heather’s memory.
