What happens when you leap out of a plane thousands of feet in the air? We uncover this and more in our conversation with Ross Mitchell, president of Leaps of Hope and a full-time skydiver. Skydiving isn't just a sport; it's a therapeutic journey that balances emotional highs and lows, providing a release for pent-up emotions. Ross opens up about the complexities of mental health and the pressures faced by individuals in high-stress careers. We close by spotlighting Ross's nonprofit, Leaps of Hope, which aims to offer veterans transformative experiences through skydiving. By fostering a supportive community, the organization hopes to share stories that extend beyond trauma, creating meaningful connections and a sense of purpose.
