In our final episode of Season 4 of Girls with Grafts, Rachel and Amber are joined by survivor, actor, and author J.R. Martinez.  If you don't know J.R., you'll learn quickly that he is full of energy and living his best life post-burn injury – but that doesn't mean he hasn't had challenges along the way. As humans, we often underestimate our potential, see limitations, and settle for less than we truly deserve. But setting daily intentions is a powerful tool that allows you to shift your focus from doubt to your inherent abilities, empowering you to believe in yourself and strive for more.In this episode, we have a candid conversation with J.R. Martinez about his journey of living life with intent after a burn injury. We delve into his experiences with the grieving process, his journey to feeling confident and comfortable in his new skin, and the common concerns burn survivors face. We also touch on the pros and cons of ongoing medical procedures and the importance of decompressing and living in the moment. Living with intent is not about grand gestures but the consistent effort to achieve something greater each day, even if it's just a tiny step. This approach can lead to significant personal growth and transformation, offering hope and encouragement on your journey. Meet Our Guest J.R.
