About this Event

Resilient by Choice: From Service to Strength, Sobriety, and Purpose

Join us for a powerful, in-person experience led by Carlos, a proud father, medically retired Coast Guard veteran, and sober for over three years, as he shares his deeply personal journey of resilience, recovery, and purpose.

Resilient by Choice isn’t just a talk. It’s a call to action. This event is about owning your story, confronting your struggles, and choosing strength, even when life hits hard. Carlos will guide you through raw storytelling, real-life lessons, and moments of honest reflection on what it means to rebuild from the inside out.

Whether navigating your challenges or seeking inspiration to lead with more purpose, this event offers connection, encouragement, and the reminder that resilience is not a trait. It's a choice we make every day.

Hear the story. Feel the impact. Leave transformed.
