Hal Hargrave Jr was injured in an auto accident on July 26, 2007, which left him paralyzed from the neck down making him a quadriplegic. Hal Junior spent over 70 days in acute care and rehabilitation hospitals. The doctors said there was only a 1-3% chance that he could walk again. Despite this news, Hal’s emotional and mental outlook was strong. This was due to one single line of thinking Hal carried with him that made the future feel brighter – he could still “be perfect”. Inspired by the movie Friday Night Lights, the idea was that if you could look the people you love in the eye and tell them that you did absolutely everything you could – gave every ounce you had – then it didn’t matter whether you won or lost. Hal realized that he could “Be Perfect” whether or not he ever walked another day in his life. In Hal's terms: Be Perfect meant getting the most out of himself each and every day. The Be Perfect Foundation has remained Hal's passion ever since the idea came about in 2007. As a founding member of The Be Perfect Foundation, Hal wakes up every day with an intent to make a difference in the field of paralysis recovery. Hal Jr's day-to-day involvement with the foundation resides in decision-making, community relations, client outreach, event coordinating and planning, and marketing. Additionally, Hal Hargrave is the owner and founder of The Perfect Step (a center for paralysis recovery) also called “TPS”, and presently serves a role as the Facilities Manager (overseeing a staff of 20) as well as the Educational and Marketing Director at their location in Pomona, CA. “The Perfect Step is one that is taken by the individual who is suffering. It is deemed the perfect step because it is one that is taken in the right direction down a path that might seem long and grueling, but the only thing that matters is that, that individual is moving forward and not stopping.” Hal hopes that they are able to take The Perfect Step nationwide and provide services of paralysis recovery to every major region of the United States. What started as a tragic accident has turned into one of the greatest blessings of all. It’s The Perfect Step in the right direction. In Hal’s own words: “When my accident happened, I quickly recognized that my accident affected not just me, but my entire family and those around me. Fortunately, I have an incredible family with a wife, parents, brothers and sisters and extended family who have never left my side. Additionally, the community has rallied around them and when some steped away, others stepped up. The Be Perfect Foundation and The Perfect Step have been the biggest blessings (aside from god, my injury, my wife and my family) that has ever happened to me. It has given me newfound perspective, newfound purpose, and a reason to get up every morning and be proud of who I am and what I'm doing. However, I understand that the only way that this is possible is through a supportive family, a supportive community, support of donors, support of board members and volunteers, and namely grateful individuals who the foundation supports. The unfortunate part in all of this is knowing that people continue to have terrible diagnosis, terrible injuries and terrible stories to tell. However, the fortunate part is knowing that the foundation is there to make a difference. I know that I'm nothing without each and every one of you, our supporters and donors. I owe it all to them.”

I’m excited to start the new year with a follow-up episode with Karen Isbister. Karen’s first episode is the #1 listened to episode of the podcast, so I’ve brought her back to have a deeper conversation about the little know parts of the rollercoaster of Cancer treatment. We talk about chemo-brain, disease prevention, having babies, and finding love in the middle of a cancer diagnosis…in the middle of covid.

If you haven’t heard part 1 of Karen’s story, be sure to check out episode #1 and grab a box of tissue if you’re sentimental like me and cry at Hallmark commercials.

I’m honored to announce that mere days before this episode aired, Karen received the results from her doctor that she is cancer-free. I know that 2021 is going to be a better year for Karen and I’m excited to hear your feedback about how her journey has inspired you to shift your mindset and how we can all work together to heal our 2020 trauma and move into a NEW BETTER 2021.

To follow along with more of Karen’s journey, you can visit her website at no-filter-fitness.com or follow her on Instagram @no_filter_fitness_reno

Charleen is an Integrative Nutrition health coach and she approaches health in a holistic way. She helps stressed out nurses to live a more balanced lifestyle by focusing on their mindset and gut health.

She grew up in a large Filipino family where food has always been the center of every family gathering. As a child, she had an immense joy for food however, that relationship with food spiraled out of control in high school when she was made more aware of how food affected her body. She became obsessed with looking a certain way and food became the enemy.

She went through this stressful journey through college, through her 20’s, and throughout her nursing career. At that moment, she realized something was missing and she knew she wanted to share her passion for how she eventually overcame her own health struggles.

She learned to find joy in food again through being more aware of how food makes her feel in her gut in her mind. Through implementing self care practices and going to school of Integrative Nutrition to become a health coach, she now works with other nurses to help and guide them through the unfolding of their own wellness journey.

Dr. Anthony Ratkovic is a Chiropractor, Business Owner, and Health Educator for 18 years.

His professional story began with him volunteering in an office during his first year of Chiropractic school where he eventually started working as an associate after becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. After learning and gaining work experience at this office, he was able to purchase into a partnership at his present office where he has practiced since 2005. Since joining Euclid Chiropractic in 2005, he and his partner have experienced the trials and successes of running a private practice healthcare office. Having a mentor when he was first starting in the practice helped avoid the rookie mistakes as a doctor and business owner. Through the years, consistent staff has been a blessing because they help keep his office professional and personal. As a doctor he focuses on being with a patient to give them the healthcare they need. Showing empathy for a person’s condition means a lot, even if you can’t help a patient. This has helped build his practice from within through personal referrals. He has expanded the growth of his practice by using social media platforms, YELP, Google and service in the community through workshops and talks; however, word of mouth referrals have always been the key to his success.
