Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Keith McNally—combat veteran, author, coach, and hiker—as we explore the intersections of culture, history, and mental health. We begin in South Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware, tracing the Italian influence in Ocean City and the socio-economic contrasts that shape life in the region. Along the way, we share personal stories of family roots at the shore and reflections on community, tradition, and belonging.
The discussion then turns to the vital issue of mental health among veterans. We highlight community-driven initiatives such as therapeutic hiking programs that foster healing and open dialogue. Moving personal accounts, including one family member's World War II experiences, remind us of the lasting emotional and psychological challenges faced by those who serve.
Dr. McNally shares his remarkable journey from turmoil to transformation, speaking candidly about his struggles with mental and emotional health and the moments that inspired profound personal change. From his Philadelphia upbringing to his Marine Corps service, his story is one of resilience, connection, and the redemptive power of community.
