Welcome back to Home Base Nation! This is our sixth episode in a series where we talk with some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, regardless of their role at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. Over the next several weeks, we will share the staff conversations I had with some of the hardworking professionals at Home Base who help treat the invisible wounds of veterans and military families. We have published 120 episodes since 2019. For this new season, we thought it would be a good idea to look back on some of the highlights of our conversations and select 20 episodes that resonated with veterans, service members, military families, and the civilians who support them.But first up, you'll hear from some of the folks at Home Base who wake up every day with the same mission in mind, no matter what they do at the Center of Excellence in the Navy Yard and beyond. For this episode, you will hear a brief conversation with Registered Dietitian and Manager of Clinical and Culinary Nutrition for the Home Base Program Nicolette Maggiolo, serving those in the Home Base Intensive Clinical Program, New England Warrior Health & Fitness Program, and Outpatient Clinic. Additionally, Nicolette has authored a Limited edition Home Base Cookbook that features over 100 original recipes with reflections from veterans and military families. With all proceeds benefiting Home Base. It even has a bonus dog treat recipe for your pup, honoring our beloved Home Base dog Gatsby.  Woof. The cookbook was available at Stop and Shop in honor of Military Appreciation Month and once more become available we will share it here.Following my conversation with Nicolette, you'll hear an episode with Rock DJ and podcast host Mistress Carrie. A vehement supporter of U.S. troops and veterans, Mistress Carrie wanted to find a way to give back, and in 2006 she made her way to Iraq, as the first non-news journalist embedded with troops there, before "deploying" for a second time in Afghanistan in 2011, where she met Brigadier General (Ret.) Jack Hammond, who was leading command in Kabul at the time. Back in 2022, she stopped by the Home Base Center of Excellence to speak with Ron and General Hammond to speak about why supporting veterans matters so much and how she views service. Run To Home Base: Join Ron and his team and sign up individually or on another team at the 16th annual Run To Home Base on July 26th, 2025, at Fenway Park!

You know how we know we're old…. It's pretty safe to say the Pacers/Knicks rivalry is renewed after last night's Game 1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. :30- Mariners Morning After The Mariners came away with a 6-5 win in Chicago yesterday as the offense stepped up when needed. It was a back and forth game and Leody Taveras came through in the 8th to put the M's up for good and have his official Mariners moment. :45- As we approach Memorial Day, we are asking our listeners to send in their military mentions to our talkbacks so we can continue to celebrate Military Appreciation Month.

This month, for Memorial Day and Military Appreciation Month, we honor our Native American veterans. Did you know our Native people serve at the highest rate per capita of any group in the U.S.? Yet, Native veterans also face some of the highest suicide rates, often twice the national average. Factors like historical trauma, limited access to culturally relevant care, and the lingering effects of service contribute to this crisis. For younger Native male veterans, the risk is especially high, making culturally rooted, community-based support critical. Programs that reconnect veterans to nature, culture, and tradition are helping restore hope. I sat down with Choctaw veteran Teyler Williston, who continues his family's legacy of service through his work in Native veteran mental health. His story spans generations—from his Choctaw Lighthorseman Grandpa to Teyler's Air Force Firefighting and his role in the Choctaw Honor Guard.

And, as Dr. Iesiah Harris discovered, it's not easy. In fact, 50% of military veterans leave their civilian jobs within one year of transitioning. How then, does Booz Allen have a 95% retention rate for military veterans in that first year of transition?

Hey Friend- In the midst of a really full season of life the question you should be asking is, “WHERE IS GOD TEACHING ME TO FOCUS IN THE PRESENT?” At least that's the advice my guest today has to share, and I second that. Megan Gephart is a wife, mom to 2 boys (4 and 1.5), an active duty Army officer, coach, and fierce advocate for military moms. She is on a mission to help her sisters in arms & sisters in Christ heal from burnout, find more balance, and live out their faith in motherhood and male-dominated environments. She helps high-achieving Christian women give their family their best, while also making the unique impact God is calling them to. A certified Life Coach and certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, she is especially passionate about supporting women through the demanding seasons of pregnancy, postpartum, mothering littles, and the challenges of military life.Not in the military yourself like Megan or married to someone in the military like me? Don't skip this episode cuz the nuggets and truth you'll hear in our conversation will help you get to the root of restlessness in any season of your life. Plus May is Military Appreciation Month plus Mother's Day, so I thought this would be the perfect way to truly appreciate those who serve our country and those who serve our families. And if you do know someone who's serving in both ways like Megan, I guarantee you'll want to pass on this episode.I pray this blesses, challenges and moves you to action!L.Y.L.A.S.
