This week's episode is powerful.... you'll meet Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Eric Donoho: combat veteran, Purple Heart, suicide survivor. Eric has seen the worst of war. He did the PTSD work—and still felt stuck. In this raw conversation, he explains the piece most men miss: moral injury—a soul-level wound of guilt and shame that standard PTSD tools often don’t touch. He shares how faith and service helped him climb out, and how you can spot moral injury in yourself or someone you love.
