What if being diagnosed with a rare chronic illness became the moment you chose to fight back? 

In this powerful episode, Rita De Michele speaks with Martin Stark—Addison’s Disease survivor, global speaker, and founder of the World Gay Boxing Championships—on how courage became his greatest medicine. 

After surviving two comas and a tracheotomy, Martin transformed his life through mindset, advocacy, and the discipline of boxing. He shares how he rebuilt his identity and turned pain into purpose. If you’re living with chronic illness or searching for deeper healing, this episode is your reminder that courage is a choice—and a practice.
