For burn survivors like J.R. Martinez, telling his story to inspire was both a valuable and gratifying way to help others, and in turn, also help with his own healing. J.R. used what Phoenix Society calls the healing power of peer support that has helped thousands of burn survivors over the years. When J.R. told his story, the local and national media listened—and his resilience, charm, and optimism were some of what earned him spots on both All My Children and Dancing with the Stars. In this episode, we talk with J.R. about his journey to motivational speaking, acting, and of course, Dancing with the Stars. About J.R. Martinez J.R.
