The VetRise Podcast w/ Juan Perez

This isn’t about grief. It’s about how you live.

No amount of reps, routines, or journaling will override what hasn’t been healed. Emotional pain doesn’t go away by hiding—it gets louder, and it bleeds into every area of life.

This episode calls out the war veterans are still fighting: the one inside. Not with enemies, but with the shame, regret, and unresolved anger that keeps them locked in survival mode.

The work isn’t about becoming s...

When every minute is filled, there’s no room to question if any of it actually matters.

Most people aren’t burned out from doing too much, they’re exhausted from avoiding the one thing that actually matters.

This episode breaks down how “planning” often becomes procrastination in disguise, and why obsessing over perfect systems is blocking real results.

It’s not about building the perfect routine—it’s about building discipline through action.

It’s not heroic to say yes to everyone but yourself.

In this episode, we dismantle the toxic cycle of self-neglect disguised as selflessness—and why loving yourself first is the most selfless move you can make.

Because your family doesn’t need your sacrifice—they need your strength.
