Scar Bearers: Recent Episodes
Chris DT Gordon
On Scar Bearers, I discuss my battle with necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria) and other stories, and how those experiences didn’t make me perfect; they made me better!
I also interview others who have faced major struggles and still persevered, reaching the summit on the other side of the valley and often climbing higher than before.
We also get geeky occasionally. 😉
Please join me and contribute to this imperfect, yet fantastic and fun community!

Brinn Langdale held a secret until she was 18 that she had been sexually abused by a close family member for 12 years. Substances, self-harm, eating disorders, and unhealthy relationships were how she coped until she was faced with a choice. The choice to heal her wounds wasn't easy, but it was necessary for a better life. Now, as a therapist, speaker, and author she hopes to inspire others and share her message that healing, recovery, and forgiveness is possible.

Paul Forchione was born with cerebral palsy and it was so severe that the doctors told his mom that he would never be able to walk. Thank goodness for a wonderful mom and a great mindset that wasn’t his story! He was able to overcome it and is now able to live a very active life. It wasn’t easy, however, to get to that point.

As an internationally recognized speaker, trainer and coach with unique qualifications and expertise in working with teens, their mentors, parents and teachers. “Sensei Dave” Armstrong has spoken on many international stages, delivering compelling messages of hope, empowerment and tangible/practical advice. Sensei Dave is a foster care alumni that grew up as a product of a broken family, in and out of youth correctional facilities, foster homes and group homes, all while dealing with the death of his only parent (his mother) when he was 13 years old. After overcoming all of these obstacles in life and defying his destiny, he decided to serve humanity by dedicating 20+ years towards helping people better their lives and their relationships with their children or the children they work with. After Sensei Dave retired from 24-years of Active Duty Military Service in the U.S. Air Force, he decided to open Unlimited Potential Network Academy Coaching, to publish his amazing motivational autobiography to inspire Caring Adults working with our youth, and start a program called “The Speakers Meet-Up" for aspiring speakers to find and refine their inner-voice for the world.

After a 13-year career in architecture made Scott overweight, sick and stressed, Scott shifted, became super fit, and then built a 15,000 square foot gym in 2002, Best Body Fitness. Next, he wrote a book about health and fitness called “If Your Body Were a Car, You Wouldn’t Treat it This Way”, as well as a fitness journal and a recipe book. Once in a place of being healthy, Scott decided to try the Sylvan Lake Half Ironman Triathlon to see if he could finish it. He finished well and qualified for and completed Ironman Canada 5 weeks later. Within a few years he was representing Canada at the World Championships in Holland and Australia as well as racing all over Canada and the USA.
In 2011 Scott entered a triathlon 2.5 times longer than Ironman, and at the Canadian Ultraman Championships, he finished 6th overall, (20 minutes from 2nd) in a 3 day race spanning 520kms. 2 years later at the Ultraman World Championships in Kona Hawaii he placed 21st in 2013. Scott has ridden a bike 400 kms in one day for Cancer research, ridden a mountain bike 700kms to Montana along the great continental divide, and completed every Spartan Distance including an Ultra Beast. In 2015 Scott was racing again at the Ultraman World Championships and crashed his bike at nearly 70 kilometers per hour, breaking many bones including his skull, and nearly died.
Making a remarkable full recovery he raced again 3 years later in 2018, placing 25th in the world while filming the process for an award-winning documentary, "Living the Warrior’s Code”. Scott, now a multiple-time international best-selling author, coaches people online and in person on nutrition, fitness and the mindset to succeed, as well as delivering keynote talks that are engaging, inspiring and fun!

Dr. Kevin J. Payne is a social psychologist, entrepreneur, author & skydiver — and he’s doing it all with MS. When he lost everything he cared about, he decided to rebuild his life by facing the fear of his uncooperative body in the air and becoming a skydiver. 600 jumps later (and counting), he found his home in the sky. Born from a decade of research, Your Life, Lived Well is his labor of love: a podcast, a book, a curriculum of classes, organizational services, and a technology — they all support those whose lives have been touched by chronic illness.
There’s no one answer to living well, but Dr. Payne is committed to showing you the practical tools you can use to build the life you want.

However, just because the event is dark doesn't mean you have to be! Watch to learn how I use gratitude to see the silver lining in any cloud.

“Boys don’t talk about their feelings!”
Really?!? We’re still dealing with that old chestnut?
As a society, we need to instill productive mental health practices in our children early so they can grow up to be well-adjusted adults. Treating boys as emotionless automatons has gotten us to the situation where we are today where depression and other mental health issues and cripple many of those would otherwise be happier and more productive in all aspects of life.
Let’s ditch the antiquated thought that boys shouldn’t show their feelings. Let’s tell them that it’s OK to let others know how they feel so we can ALL be happier and healthier!

Susan Moser lived in shame, guilt and anger for nearly 30 years. Being born with a rare form of cancer -- the only documented case in a newborn -- Moser didn’t want her health realities to define her life. So she hid them and in that silence grew a deep seeded belief that because she was born with cancer, she was inherently a bad person. This created a debilitating sense of doubt and judgment across all areas of her life, which she ultimately unwound in order to embody sustained empowered self-worth.
Driven to support others in finding similar freedom, Susan launched Grow Into Greatness as a vehicle for motivation and mentorship to ignite mindset revolutions in others and to empower them to feel confidence in owning their authenticity so they can live what she calls “a light your soul on fire life.” By using the lens of her story, and the application of her 3D Method framework and others, she provides pathways and tools to transform your mind to fuel you and bring ease to daily life.
Susan is a mother via gestational carrier, ostomite, lawyer and VP of business development in the insurance industry, founder of Grow Into Greatness and a co-author of the best seller “You Were Made to Be Unstoppable”. Susan has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, Positive Self-Story Teller, Vibrant Life Show, More with Mollie, The Stupid Cancer Show, Survivors Around You, Ellie and has appeared as a speaker on navigating the impact of traumatic health realities on numerous occasions, including at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's Survivorship Day.

She spent over 23 years in the public and private world of education teaching in various capacities with a focus on Language Arts and helping her students find their voices. For the last three years, she has enjoyed pouring into her own children as her family continues their journey of homeschooling. Kristen has always loved to listen to other people’s stories and share her story with others. Her mission is to show up each day authentically, vulnerably, and listen to the hearts of others. With navigating the ins and outs of over seventeen years of both parenting and working, she is keenly aware of the delicate and challenging need of keeping “All the T.H.I.N.G.S.” in balance. She has felt called to share how together we can lift each other up to do that well. She longs to help people “Show Up Strong” for themselves, those they love, and those they are called to serve. Kristen loves to see the connections and richness that communication and an openness to others hearts and experiences brings to the fabric of our lives. She is continually reminded that despite her desire to keep a firm grasp on all the things she would like to control, God has positioned himself to do the driving of her life. She is merely a passenger.
