Many burn survivors face the harsh reality after a burn injury of wondering if they will ever return back to ‘normal'. For many, the long journey to recovery can seem both overwhelming and uncertain—not knowing what the future can hold or how long recovery (both physical and emotional) may take. A burn survivor's journey to recovery is not often quick—and it can be in these moments of uncertainty that finding purpose and motivation can help survivors overcome some of their darkest moments. For Matt Manzari, a career in wakeskating that began at an early age seemed like what he was born to do. However, after two major traumatic events—a wakeskating water accident and an electrical burn injury, he was left not knowing what his future may hold. In this episode, we talk with Matt about his personal journey to recovery, how he found purpose after his accidents, and what returning back to ‘normal' meant for Matt. About Matt ManzariMatt Manzari fell in love with water sports at an early age. He started wakeskating and before he knew it, he was sponsored by Nike and traveling the world doing what he loved at the age of 15!  It seemed like his career was established, and Matt knew what he would do for the rest of his life! However, God had other plans and began to work on his heart. Matt went on to school to study Theology and four years laters, he was about to graduate and he and his wife were excited to move into full-time ministry. The weekend before his final exams, and even though he had pretty much removed himself from the sport, Matt entered into the pro tour contests to earn some extra money. However, tragedy struck and he was involved in an accident that doctors were amazed he survived. A year later, Matt began working in ministry. He was trimming trees at a local church and a power line arched over to the metal bucket he was standing in. 14,000 Volts shot through his body and caused 4th and 5th-degree burns, which melted most of the skin off of his chest and arms, going deep enough to kill muscle and bone. Matt was rushed to the emergency center and doctors were not sure if he would ever wake from the coma he was in. Miraculously, a few days later he woke up from the coma and began to speak. After multiple surgeries of tissue removal, artificial skin placement, and skin grafts, Matt was released just over three months later. Resources from the Show Visit Matt Manzari's Website.Purchase Matt's Book on Amazon.Learn More About Operation Wake Surf.Follow Matt on Facebook.Follow Matt on Instagram.Watch Matt on YouTube.Visit the Burn Community Bookshelf.Learn More About Phoenix Society's World Burn Congress.Watch ‘Finding Purpose After a Burn Injury'.Read the Article ‘Pain Management After a Burn Injury'.Watch ‘Telling Your Story to Make a Difference'.Download Your Free Copy of ‘A Caregiver's Guide to a Burn Injury'.Share Your Burn Survivor Story Online.Join the Online Burn Survivor Communities for Peer Support.Get Your Own Copy of Phoenix Society's Journey Magazine.For More Resources, Visit Us Here.About Mallinckrodt PharmaceuticalsFor more than 150 years, Mallinckrodt has been advancing the fields of science and medicine to improve the lives of people around the world.

After a burn injury, many burn survivors are left with the appearance of visible burn scars that can sometimes make getting back out there after a burn injury difficult. There are several options that burn survivors may explore to help with the appearance of scars, all with a unique preference for the survivor and their own healing journey. While many survivors are comfortable with the appearance of scars as they are, every survivor's journey and unique preference for how they manage the appearance of their scars is different.In this episode, we talk with Murphy Miñoso, a paramedical tattoo artist, to learn more about this type of scar camouflaging and how it can impact the emotional and physical aspects of a survivor's burn recovery journey. We dive deep into the process of paramedical tattooing with Murphy as she shares with us more about what survivors can expect with choosing this type of treatment for burn scars.About Murphy MiñosoWhen Murphy Miñoso first learned about paramedical tattooing, she was immediately drawn to the power beyond its artistry. Its ability to change people both physically and emotionally was something that Murphy connected with on a very personal level. Through her tattooing services, she hopes to aid in the journey towards turning insecurity into confidence.Seeing how artistic transformations could be so profound was always inspiring to Murphy. She originally began her career as a licensed cosmetologist, as well as a professional makeup artist. Murphy started her journey working in a high-end NYC salon and moved on to doing makeup for film and television in Louisiana and Chicago. After 11 years, she built a strong background in color theory and aesthetics and learned the deep importance of enhancing each individual's unique beauty.In a world with so much emphasis on physical appearance, it can be difficult to find the balance of inner and outer beauty. It fills her heart that she is now able to focus her passion for helping others and intertwine it with her affinity for nature and its ability to heal. This is where Willow & Birch was born. Murphy hopes to inspire some self-love and remind people that true happiness lies within themselves, regardless of the scars life brings along the way.Resources from the Show Visit Murphy's Website.Visit Willow & Birch: Wellness Boutique and Paramedical Tattoo Studio | 324 N River St. East Dundee, IL 60118Email Willow & Birch: wellness@willowandbirch.comFollow Willow & Birch on Instagram.Follow Willow & Birch on Facebook.Read the Article ‘What Does it Mean When Someone Stares at Your Scars?'.Read More About Laser Treatment for Burns.Watch ‘Makeup Application Tips for Burn Survivors'.Watch ‘Skin Care After a Burn Injury'.Read the article ‘Burns are Beautiful'.Read the Article ‘I Don't See Your Scars'.Get Your Own Copy of Phoenix Society's Journey Magazine.For More Resources, Visit Us Here.  About Pye-Barker Fire & SafetyPye-Barker is a nation leader in fire protection, life safety and security services to a wide variety of industries.

On Halloween in 1987, Anthony Razzano at the young age of 12 years old found himself influenced by peers huffing gas on a quad motorbike. In his recollection of a ‘split-second decision,' Anthony decided to join his peers and later returned home with a friend to continue the activity. Not realizing the dangers around gasoline, Anthony's friend lit a match causing burns to over 87% of Anthony's body. Anthony was given a 0% chance at living and had his last rights read to him three times over the course of his recovery. In this episode, we talk with Anthony about his journey to recovery as a child burn survivor, the role mental health plays in burn injury recovery, and discuss how he's overcome obstacles to become who he is today. Anthony shares his advice for other burn survivors, and talks about what to expect when reading his memoir, “Against All Odds”. About Anthony RazzanoAnthony Razzano is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), licensed sports agent, and an NFL-certified contract advisor. He has made a career out of negotiating successful contracts for his clients and providing expert tax and business advice since 2006. Born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania, Anthony harbored childhood dreams of becoming a professional football player.However, at a young age, Anthony was tragically injured in a fire that resulted in burns covering 87% of his body, and he lost his left hand. Anthony was not expected to survive but defied all odds. After an intense recovery, he became the starting outside linebacker for the New Castle Red Hurricanes high school football team, demonstrating an unbreakable spirit and determination that has been a hallmark of his life.Today, he is the author of the upcoming memoir, "Against All Odds," which tells his inspiring journey from the fire back to the football field, and his subsequent success in the fields of finance and sports management.
