We stumbled onto Michaela's story because of this hilarious video explaining her pretty traumatic experience. We love a good comeback story after injury, especially when it includes a life being saved by strength training.

We won't ruin the whole story, you'll just have to listen to the episode to find out, but there are several valuable lessons in here for both service members facing their own challenges, and for the medical professionals who care for them.

The parallels between Michaela's experience and our previous episode with F/A-18E pilot Kegan Gill are astonishing.

Find her on Instagram @maneuvering_mic where she discusses everything from aviation to outdoor adventures to resilience.
