Imagine the life of a former Army Black Hawk pilot who faced immense pressure and severe anxiety, leading to a life-altering panic attack. In this episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Sarah Moore, who poignantly shares her journey from post-9/11 enlistee to aviation officer, and how the intensity of military life steered her toward advocating for mental health. Sarah reveals the prevalent unhealthy coping mechanisms in the military, such as excessive drinking and lack of sleep, and explains how these experiences fueled her mission to support other veterans through her business, Blue Side Yoga.

As the only female service member in her family during wartime, Sarah offers a unique perspective on the emotional and physical struggles faced by military families. She discusses the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, dealing with PTSD, and managing post-deployment pain, as well as her journey from military service to federal law enforcement. This profound realization of the need for mental health resources led to the creation of Blue Side Yoga, a program aimed at helping veterans scientifically understand and manage stress. Sarah emphasizes the importance of reintegrating into family life and finding a sense of home again.

We also explore the transformative power of yoga and meditation for veterans and first responders, with Sarah recounting how a neurosurgeon's recommendation sparked her personal journey with yoga. From overcoming common misconceptions to understanding the mind-body connection, Sarah highlights the mental and physical benefits of yoga.

We introduce innovative virtual training programs like the "Warrior Mindset" and "Mountain Athlete" courses, designed to prepare participants for mental and physical challenges. The episode culminates with an exciting 12-week program that includes a trek in Nepal, aimed at fostering mental fitness and holistic healing. Join us for an episode packed with invaluable insights and actionable advice on mental health and well-being.

Ladies and gentlemen, standing across from your host today at 6’3” and 175 lbs is a military service member who represents our community through his Mixed Martial Arts endeavors. 

Today, I am joined with an Air Force Service member who caught my attention on social media when I saw a short video where he had severely broken nose in 3 areas during one of his fights last August and this warrior opted to keep fighting. He even got it adjust shortly after the fight with no anesthetics.

Anyone who attempts to call him part of the “Chair Force,” will face off against a professional with a determined will to fight and the self-motivation rarely found in today’s society. I asked him to be a guest on The Morning Formation Podcast because I’m sincerely curious to learn more about this warrior.

Today, I’m joined with a fellow Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, who also served in the United States Marines Corps and like me, today’s guest spent some combat time in Iraq.

Today’s guest now owns his own gym just outside of Chicago in Elmhurst, Illinois. Over the time he’s been involved with BJJ, our guest today has also secured MMA (Mixed Martial Art) victories with a record of 7-0.

I had the opportunity to know and train with our guest when I also trained BJJ in Chicago at The Uflacker Academy, when he was just a purple belt, climbing the ranks and making a name for himself.

I am very proud to have Professor Anthony Ferro on today’s podcast to talk about his time in the Marines, his Combat experiences, his career transition out of the military which involved some PTSD and how the martial arts industry helped him discover more to life.
