Comics journalist Jess Ruliffson joins the show to talk about the origins of INVISIBLE WOUNDS (Fantagraphics), her collection of stories from veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but we wind up talking about guys' butts, among other things. We get into her focus on male vulnerability, the Tim Hetherington photos that led her to make Invisible Wounds, the differences between soldiers who enlisted pre-/post-9/11, what it's like to come home from war with no idea what to do next, and the new comics she's making with her husband, Ernesto Barbieri, about his work as an ICU nurse. We talk about her upbringing in Mississippi, what she's learned about interviewing and how stories sometimes take shape in retrospect, whether it's "permissible" to tell stories about people in a different demographic, the common thread of moral injury in her work, how she met her husband through an MFA open house, and how she found her way into comics and journalism. We also discuss her frustration at not drawing the butts she wants to draw, her experiences teaching comics and learning to give her students permission, what she's learned from making the Terrible Anvil podcast with Tom Hart, why her therapist insisted she never make a memoir, and more!

41 - Healing Invisible Wounds with Russ Hanes What do you do when you're a first responder and you're struggling and making bad decisions at work and you realize this is not working out for you?  That's where Russ Hanes was at after 17 years of working in law enforcement, corrections, and 911 dispatch.  Fortunately for Russ, he was finally able eventually get his life together but it meant leaving the job he loved.  But he still wanted to help people. So, he launched the Invisible Wounds Project, a non-profit that helps improve the lives and mental health of veterans, first responders and their families.  Today we'll hear a little about his story and about an innovative new initiative his nonprofit is launching this month!  Stay tuned for his story.  ABOUT OUR GUEST Russ Hanes is the Founder and Executive Director of the Invisible Wounds Project (IWP) a Minnesota-based nonprofit whose mission is to positively impact and enhance the lives of those who serve(d). IWP provides access to qualified therapy services, and other support services for military, police, fire, EMS, frontline medical staff, corrections, 911 dispatch, and their families related to PTSD, mental health and suicide issues.  Russ spent 17 years working in the public safety field as a police officer, corrections officer, and 911 dispatcher. In 2016, Russ left public safety after silently battling PTSD. Since 2009 Russ has been involved in fundraising for veteran, and first responder causes. It was in 2016 as he battled his own inner demons, and after being told that he "didn't qualify for help" because he wasn't a veteran, that the Invisible Wounds Project was born. Russ recognized that many of his friends and colleagues were suffering from PTSD and cumulative stress but had nowhere to turn. The Invisible Wounds Project which has annually served hundreds of individuals and families, just recently began construction of its IWP Support Center, which is a day-use therapeutic space meant to provide those they serve a place to go for connection and services.

As a former Marine Recon Scout Sniper, the invisible wounds of moral injury in veterans are a subject close to my heart. It's why I'm honored to sit down with Mary Scott from Pivotal Impact Programs, who joins us with over three decades of mental health expertise. Together, we peel back the layers of this complex issue, sharing insights and stories that reveal the emotional struggles veterans and their loved ones endure. This conversation isn't just about the depths of trauma; it's a testament to the human spirit's capacity to overcome and find hope.The bonds we forge with others often bear the weight of our experiences, and when those experiences include combat-related trauma, the impact on personal relationships can be profound. Mary and I delve into the ways veterans carry their past into the present, sometimes with heartbreaking consequences. But we also cast light on the transformative power of love and commitment as key allies on the journey toward healing. Our discussion includes the raw truth of dealing with nightmares, the shame and anger tethered to them, and the cathartic release found within the understanding embrace of retreat programs specifically designed for veterans.Retreats offer a sanctuary for veterans to confront their traumas and rediscover their identities, and in this episode, I recount the life-changing moments these immersive experiences can catalyze. It's not just about the individual either; the group dynamic plays a pivotal role, allowing veterans to build trust and empathy as they share their stories and struggles. From the serene setting of Copper Falls to the guided steps towards healing, we reveal how retreats can pave the way for personal growth and recovery, regardless of one's history. Join us for an unflinchingly honest look at the path to healing moral injury and reclaiming a sense of self after service. Contact Thad - VictoriousVeteranProject@Gmail.comThanks for listening!

I never truly understood the depth of emotional scars until Karen Fullerton, a certified quantum energy practitioner, walked me through her profound journey of healing. Her story, marked by struggles with emotional neglect and self-abuse, sheds light on the invisible wounds many of us carry and the critical importance of facing them head-on. In our heartfelt conversation, Karen teaches us to view emotions not just as feelings but as frequencies that shape our reality. She opens up about her childhood experiences, illustrating how these vibrational energies can either ensnare us or set us free, depending on our ability to recognize and transform them into joy and liberation. Throughout this episode, we traverse the transformative path of emotional awareness and self-empowerment. Karen encourages us to become present with our emotions, to sit with them and observe them without judgment as a means to catalyze change. We delve into the power of vibrational frequencies in shaping our life experiences and how they can help us attract what we truly desire. The episode is rounded off with a discussion on the union of music and emotional healing, and we peek into "The Seven Insights to Emotional Wellness," Karen's online course which promises to revolutionize how we deal with our emotions and guide us toward a state of emotional well-being. Join us on this journey as we learn to harmonize our inner frequencies and create a life resonating with happiness and health. Karen Fullerton in her own words Don't give up. Spiral Up. Too many women and service-oriented entrepreneurs feel like giving up on their dreams. They lose faith in themselves because results aren't equaling their efforts and burnout sets in. I know I did!  I didn't always integrate energy principles in my executive or entrepreneurial business career, even as a quantum energy practitioner. I'm not talking Law of Attraction or the power of positive thinking. In fact, these masculine principles are only half of the equation, and why I experienced entrepreneurial struggles. My determination and independent nature as a Gen Xer resisted anything other than the power of the mind as the only driver of success! Even with my 4.0 GPA in business and entrepreneurial mindset…   It took the closing of my marketing business and filing bankruptcy before I allowed feminine energy principles, spirituality, and a bit of physics to co-create my strategy for my most fulfilling success: Founder of The Sergei Foundation—a nonprofit organization raising more than 1 million dollars to save the lives of more than 5,000 pets for lower-income families.  Connect with Karen Fullerton on her website: https://karenfullerton.com/ on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karen-fullerton-speaker/ by email: team@karenfullerton.com     Do you care about getting featured and published on Real Talk Real Women Breaking The Silence Around Abuse alongside Karen Fullerton and many of our other wonderful guest speakers?

There are moments in our lives that stick with us for a lifetime. Some of these moments, however, carry wounds so deep that we bury them, pretending they never existed—Until…… someone accidentally touches it. Then what?..... When left unaddressed, these invisible traumas can cast a long shadow over our lives and, more specifically, our marriages.

Joining us is Kaara Kiddoe, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the Co-Founder of Authentic Marriages, a Christian marriage ministry she runs alongside her husband, Dr. Jared Kiddoe.

US Navy Combat Veteran Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld has worn two hats, both literally and figuratively whether donning his surgical cap in the OR, or his camouflage cap down range, and they seem to blend together when you talk with him about humanity, what the right thing to do is when it comes to stigma, equity in healthcare and equality for all, no matter who we are, both at home and abroad. In this episode, host Dr. Ron Hirschberg talks with Dr. Ehrenfeld about his role as the current President of American Medical Association and how his military experience has shaped it, about stigma in mental health, about the fight for rights in the LBGTQ+ community - in and out of the military - and current issues in Israel and Gaza that are on all of our minds.        This episode was recorded on 10-23-23 at Home Base Center of ExcellenceMany thanks to our guest Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, Navy Veteran, and current president of the American Medical Association for being on the podcast and your visit to Home Base.

When something goes wrong, or you feel hurt or sad, how do you care for yourself? Do you give yourself the same care you would if you had a broken leg? In our society, we don't typically get taught how to care for ourselves when our emotions get hurt. The concept of emotional first aid is a practical tool created by Guy Winch to help us recognize that our psychological wellbeing is dependent on how we care for ourselves when things get hard. I would love to hear what strategies you will use after listening to this episode.

For our 1st Home Base Staff Pick, Our very own Team Leader of Veteran Outreach Marine Veteran Ryan Casavant gives some love to fellow Marine Veteran and … Dancehall and Reggae artist Orville Burrell, AKA Shaggy. Ryan talks about his road to the Marines, his deployment experience, and what he does at Home Base to support his peers and families. And as we look at those making history, this month in Black History Month, you cannot find any other GRAMMY-winning Marines out there… Shaggy has released 'Com Fly Wid Mi which has 11 Frank Sinatra songs all done in his own Reggae style, produced by collaborator Sting. Cheers to these two Marines who have served and continue to serve in many ways.Some news:-As we know, it's been 1 year as of Feb 24th since the War in Ukraine. It is hard to believe, and not only do we think of those Ukrainian troops when it comes to their needs body-mind and soul, we think of the trauma that the civilians have been enduring. There are many people around MGB who have been helping since the get-go like BWH Navy Veteran Dr. Eric Goralnick and MGH's Dr. Jarone Lee and many others - and now there seems to be even more need when it comes to mental health, not surprisingly. -In more celebratory news, Home Base was very happy to officially announce on Feb 22nd Last week, a first of its kind major federal funding of $5 million as we welcomed a visit from Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Representatives Stephen Lynch (MA-08) and Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) to our national center of excellence.These funds will help support Home Base's signature clinical programs serving families of the fallen - and active-duty special operations forces experiencing ongoing issues from traumatic brain injury – TBI.Senator Warren who is a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, spoke some familiar words, not unlike what our friend and colleague Green Beret Jillian Kitching said that always resonates with me…About the simple equation, that their service = our service to help them to take care of them, when they return.Warren said, “I think of it this way - A lot of what we do is about military weapons and all the technology. But The other half is about the people.”- “If we are going to have a strong military, then we have to treat our people better.”Thank you Shaggy, and Ryan for your service, and your ongoing service to your fellow comrades and families. Special thanks to Tracy Bufferd for all your efforts and support in connecting Home Base with Dancehall, Reggae and all the genuine support of service from Shaggy and team. And… If you want more Shaggy at Home Base, check out the LIVE conversation at the Veterans Day Dinner we released February 2020. __If you are your loved one is experiencing any emotional, mental health struggles, you are not alone and please contact Home Base at (617) 724-5202, or visit www.homebase.org.Theme music for Home Base Nation: "Rolling the tree" by The Butler FrogsFollow Home Base on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedInThe Home Base Nation Team is Steve Monaco, Army Veteran Kelly Field, Phebe Garver, Justin Scheinert, Chuck Clough, with COO Michael Allard, Brigadier General Jack Hammond, and Peter Smyth.Producer and Host: Dr. Ron HirschbergAssistant Producer, Editor and corresponded (Home Base Staff Picks): Chuck CloughChairman, Home Base Media Lab: Peter SmythTo Donate to Home Base where every dollar goes to the care of veterans and military families that is cost to them, go to: www.homebase.org/donate.Home Base Nation is the official podcast of Home Base Program for Veterans and Military Families, a partnership of the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Red Sox Foundation.
