Embracing Strength

SurvivorNetTV’s two films Flourish and Resilient share the stories of incredible people who have pushed themselves to the limit, and show how strong we all are.
Flourish follows the story of Charlene Lim, whose lack of confidence prevented her from building her strength. Once discovering yoga, her fear of trying new things completely vanished.
Resilient features mountain bike riders Jerad Fischer, Lindsey Runkel, and Dan Soller, who all suffered long-term injuries including losing a leg and becoming paralyzed. Instead of dwelling on these injuries, they've used them as motivation to keep pushing themselves on the trails.

How many times have we told ourselves that we can’t do something? When it comes to following our dreams and achieving goals, mindset is everything. On SurvivorNetTV, we showcase incredible figures who have pushed themselves to the limit, and show how strong we all are.

SurvivorNetTV Presents: Flourish

SurvivorNetTV’s Flourish follows the story of Charlene Lim, who constantly underestimated her strength and resilience growing up. Her lack of confidence stopped her from trying new things especially when it came to sports. However, that all changed in her early 20's when she discovered yoga. She made a goal for herself that she wanted to start slowly building her strength, and believed yoga was the perfect stepping stone.

"This daily practice and the discipline that I found in yoga changed completely the belief I had in myself, and gave me so much confidence to see that I can achieve so much more and I can be happy with who I am and who I can grow to be," Charlene says.

Turns out, what started out as an initial hobby quickly turned into a deep passion. As a result, Charlene felt her confidence, determination, and focus grow. Fast forward to now, her fear of trying new things has completely vanished and she spends her time cycling, swimming, and free climbing.

Flourish a story of empowerment, strength, & yoga

SurvivorNetTV Presents: Resilient

SurvivorNetTV's film Resilient shares the story of three inspiring people: Jerad Fischer, Lindsey Runkel, and Dan Soller. These resilient warriors refused to let serious injuries get in the ways of their dreams and passions, and inspire all of those around them.

Runkel, Fischer, and Soller have all been mountain bike riders for years, but all three of them suffered life-altering injuries. Despite having injuries including losing a leg and becoming paralyzed, they refused to let that stop them from continuing to soar through the sky on their bikes. Instead of dwelling on possible obstacles, they've used them as motivation to keep pushing themselves on the trails. Runkel, Fischer, and Soller are living proof that your life, goals, and passions don't need to change after an injury.
