We talk about what happens when you stop pretending you’re fine and finally give yourself permission to feel.
From survivor’s guilt to emotional suppression in leadership roles, this conversation breaks down how veterans carry invisible weight long after the uniform comes off.
The healing doesn’t start with a diagnosis. It starts with honesty. And it’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about unbecoming everything you were forced to be.
