Description
This week we turn the podcast spotlight to an incredible story of resilience and triumph with disabled army veteran, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Major Jas Boothe. Having survived a military career-ending illness, depression, and homelessness all while navigating single motherhood Jas dug deep to find a way to turn each tragedy into triumph. Instead of allowing her life experience to get her down, instead, she asked - "What's next?" and started her own non-profit, ‘Final Salute Inc’ which raised over $4 Million to provide homeless veterans with housing. That resilience now has her positioned as an entrepreneur with a skincare line focused on helping women focus on self-care.
Tune in to hear this amazingly inspiring story of tragedy that led to a spiritual journey of self-love and belief.
