Episode 138 Texas Legislator and Combat Veteran Josey Garcia Still Fighting for Democracy by Jesse Garcia

When the pills stop working and therapy feels like talking to a brick wall, where do you turn? Dr. Charlie Powell, a veteran and multi-board certified physician, opens up about a journey most in his shoes would never talk about, finding healing through psychedelic medicine after years of battling PTSD, depression, and emotional numbness. His new project, Healing Heroes, captures this radical, personal transformation and the stories of six veterans and first responders who risked everything to find themselves again. In this episode, we tear down the walls of stigma, see what healing looks like, and share why recovery demands more than just prescriptions and checklists. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt broken, lost, or tired of fighting the same battles inside their own head. Timestamps 04:30 - Why traditional PTSD treatments often fall short 12:15 - The life-altering decision to try psychedelic medicine 19:45 - Building a multidisciplinary path to real healing 28:00 - The devastating impact of stigma and isolation 36:55 - How Healing Heroes is reshaping hope for veterans Links & Resources Veteran Suicide & Crisis Line: Dial 988, then press 1 Website: https://solovive.com Follow Charlie Powell on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/healingheroestv Follow Charlie Powell on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingheroestv Follow Charlie Powell on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healingheroestv Follow Charlie Powell on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HealingHeroesTV Transcript View the transcript for this episode.

On this podcast I sit down with the Neysa Holmes-wife of Erick Holmes. Erick selflessly served as a green beret, including 5 combat rotations to war. He suffers from diagnosed and admitted PTS and TBI. Throughout his journey he's pleaded for help and was repeatedly denied from a broken Veteran Affairs and Justice system. We discuss this journey from a wife's perspective and the challenges that brought her to step up and fight against the lack of process, empathy, and medical treatment available to our most vulnerable and deserving citizens-our combat veterans. Follow Neysa Holmes and check out her site to support her journey against a broken system that has abandoned her husband.

Dallas Knight, Combat Veteran and Founder "Operation Juliet" sits down with KGHL's Bo Swayze, Host of The Roadshow to talk about her book, her life and (not so) Average Jane retreat.

How does an honored combat veteran who became an expert on PTSD helping so many with the Veterans Club, end up in prison? Jeremy Harrell survived the Iraq War only to return home to a different kind of battlefield—PTSD. Jeremy has been hailed as a leader in veteran advocacy and mental health. He founded the Veterans Club that has been nationally heralded as the leader of veteran PTSD treatment. Jeremy's world unraveled when he was convicted of veteran benefit fraud with being disabled with PTSD. Jeremy did not diagnose himself of PTSD, no, that was diagnosed by several doctors. Jeremy took his case to trial and lost. Fresh out of federal prison, Jeremy joins us to talk about the fight for his reputation, the realities of navigating the justice system, and why the Bureau of Prisons now sees him as a voice for hope and redemption. This is a raw, honest look at the thin line how good people that are helping people can follow into the justice system abyss. A warrior for criminal justice reform has been awakened: Jeremy Harrell.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

Johnnie Williams received a bit of advice as he arrived in Vietnam: Don't get too close to the soldiers you are fighting with. He found out why on his very first mission in the jungle, and again and again throughout his tour. As Johnnie came to understand, though, heeding that advice was much easier said than done.

Heston Russell has lived a life most of us couldn’t imagine. A former special forces commander, he’s been shot at, dropped out of helicopters, and led troops through the chaos of Afghanistan and Iraq. But it wasn’t until he came home that he faced his toughest fight yet — not against an enemy overseas, but against his own country. Heston and his men were accused of war crimes, and suddenly, he was battling to defend their names against the weight of national headlines and public judgment. In this episode, we dive into Heston’s intense defamation case against the ABC, but we go deeper, too, into what it’s like to be a soldier at war and what you do when you’re wrongly accused of a crime you didn’t commit. You can listen to The ABC’s of Heston Russell podcast here.

Resilience and Recon: The Inspiring Journey of Davey Lind In this week's Team Never Quit episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with Master Sergeant Davey Lind, a United States Marine, combat veteran, and motivational leadership speaker whose life story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the power of perseverance. Born and raised in Titusville, Pennsylvania, Davey embarked on his military journey immediately after high school, joining the Marine Corps in 1989. Over the years, he honed his skills and leadership as a Recon Marine, serving in pivotal roles from scout to team leader and participating in key operations, including Desert Storm, Operation Enduring Freedom, and the Iraq War. On June 14, 2007, Davey's life changed forever when a pressure plate IED in Iraq led to the loss of his legs below the knees. Incredibly, he took his first steps just two months after the injury and has continued to inspire others with his unyielding spirit and dedication to recovery and service. Today, Davey is a sought-after motivational speaker, sharing lessons learned from the battlefield and life, focusing on leadership, adaptability, and grit. He resides in Corona, California, with his wife Lisa and their four children, where he continues to make a difference in the private sector with his involvement with PXG Golf. It became a great outlet for him and something to look forward to. He is actively involved in helping veterans heal in the context of golf outings and they have made more friends and memories from various golf adventures. Join us as we dive into Davey's incredible journey, from the challenges of combat to overcoming life-altering injuries and emerging as a beacon of strength and inspiration.  In This Episode You Will Hear: • 35 in the Marine Corps, that's old. (14:04) • We were part of a surge in the summer of '07, and my vehicle struck and activated a pressure plate IED. This IED went off directly underneath me, and from that blast I became a double leg amputee. (15:02) • I rolled over on my back to try to use my left leg to push, and when I tried to do that, that's when I realized my left leg was gone. (24:50) • I'm married, I have kids, I have goals, and I was immediately aware of how challenging my life was gonna be. (25:17) • As a platoon sergeant, I was armed with both a rifle and pistol. That pistol was on my hip, and I had the conscious thought to end my life right there. I could do it before they could finish working on me. (25:33) • I had a very clear moment of calming, reflection of “everybody did their best.” I'm just gonna die here on the battlefield. (26:54) • My initial assessment was “You're gonna walk in about 10 months to a year. (33:32) • Being in a wheelchair, even as a gunny, is like the kids table at Thanksgiving. Nobody's talking to you; they're talking about you. (35:08) • There's a great relationship you have to have with your prosthetic doctor. The fit has to be tight, but not too tight. Then there's alignment. There's a lot that goes into it. (37:39) • Guys like me – a double leg amputee, I call guys that are single leg below the knee – we refer to that as a paper cut. (38:48) • Perspective is everything. (39:35) • I was able to retire though, which is important because I did a full 20 years, 6 months, and 3 days of active duty time. (46:15) • In 2018 I got one of the greatest phone calls I've ever received. Kevin Hudson from PXG called me and said, “We got a program going on - PXG Heroes. If I help you with this program, do you think you could golf a little bit more, and talk about the program, and introduce people to PXG. Would you be willing to do that? (48:19) • Golf is the only thing you can do competitively for the rest of your life. (62:45) • [Marcus] In the beginning you wonder why you got hit. You got hit so you can show people what it's like and stay up.
