Part 2
Joining us live in the studio is Joe Rizzutti — a U.S. military veteran, retired police officer, and now a dedicated substance abuse recovery coach and mental health professional.
Joe brings decades of experience from the frontlines of service and survival, and today he opens up about the adversity he’s faced — both in uniform and in his personal journey through mental health and recovery.
We dive into the realities many first responders face behind the scenes, the toll it takes, and—more importantly—the path toward healing. From administrative challenges, to the stigmas surrounding mental health, to finding purpose after pain, Joe shares it all with honesty, humility, and hope.
This one’s raw, real, and deeply inspiring.
So sit tight — and let’s dive into Part 2 of our conversation with Joe Rizzutti, right here on Hidden Battles Radio.
