On this episode of Helping the Brave, host Ed Parcaut sits down with Antoinette Lee—Army veteran, traumatic brain injury survivor, adventure sports athlete, and founder of the American Adventure Sports Club—to talk about resilience, redefining your "new normal," and empowering others through the healing power of nature.
