My friend was in the military and experienced a failed mission years ago. He now suffers from PTSD and tremendous guilt. Can you offer any help to him? What does it really mean to offer your body as a "living sacrifice" to God (Romans 12:1)? And how is it worship?

I met Matt last year through a mutual friend and sober brother in NYC. We had crossed paths in the community but never formally sat down or conversed until we met up for coffee and connected on sobriety, life and all things health and wellness. We know a lot of the same people, attend similar fellowships and connected on our intensity and love of living a sober lifestyle. I learned that Matt is an author and speaker who discusses the transformative power of vulnerability in overcoming personal struggles, particularly those involving loss, trauma, and addiction. He speaks at schools and other events nationwide.He gained recognition for his best-selling memoir, Sway—the first story told by a child of 9/11. In the book, he shares his journey of overcoming various struggles, including losing his father on 9/11, addiction, and trauma. Matt also talks about his experiences with mental health challenges, such as depression and PTSD, and his path toward healing and recovery.With over ten years of sobriety, Matt now shares his personal story to inspire others to speak up and seek support for their mental health issues, trauma, and addiction. His advocacy work emphasizes the importance of reducing the stigma of addiction and mental health. Matt's purpose is to impact at least one life each time he shares his story and to be “a voice” for those still suffering. What started as a casual conversation ended up being a great connection and brotherhood.

On this episode of The ToosDay Crüe, hosts Jake and Stephen welcome US Marine Corps combat veteran David Shoup, founder of Warriors Awakening and a leading voice in the fight to eliminate PTSD from the lives of veterans and active-duty service members. David served as an infantry rifleman during Operation Iraqi Freedom, with additional duties supporting special operations units in multiple environments. After leaving active duty, he faced the brutal reality many combat veterans know all too well—nightmares, rage, anxiety, isolation, and emotional chaos. But David refused to accept that PTSD was a life sentence. Through years of intensive study, high-level coaching, and mission-focused action, David developed a powerful system rooted in psychological science, neurological strategies, and battlefield-tested discipline. His approach isn't therapy—it's an operational manual for freedom, designed to help warriors reclaim clarity, purpose, and control over their lives. Today, David leads a national movement through Warriors Awakening, empowering veterans to fight back, take ownership of their healing, and live with strength and intention once again.

Send us a textWhat if the very moment that almost broke you… was the moment that built you?He watched his best friend get shot six times at 16… and no one asked him how he was doing. No therapist. No safe space. Just silence, street code, and survival. In this raw and powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, Robert Harrison shares how that moment shaped his mental health, triggered PTSD, and eventually led him to turn trauma into purpose through therapy and trauma-informed fitness. If you've ever carried pain in silence, struggled with a father wound, or wondered how to transform trauma into strength — this conversation is for you.Robert shares the life-altering event that shaped his path — witnessing his best friend being shot six times as a teenager and carrying that trauma in silence. No therapist. No safe space. Just hypervigilance, survival mode, and the unspoken weight of PTSD. In a culture that discouraged vulnerability, he learned to cope alone. But what could have hardened him instead awakened him.From that moment forward, Robert chose a different story.Now a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Define Our Fitness, he uses weightlifting as a tool to regulate the nervous system, rebuild confidence, and restore emotional balance. In this episode, he breaks down how physical discipline reshapes brain chemistry, strengthens identity, and creates space for healing — proving that movement isn't just about muscles… it's about reclaiming your mind.But the conversation goes deeper.Lira and Robert explore father wounds and generational trauma — what it means to forgive a parent who couldn't show up, how compassion doesn't excuse harm, and how breaking cycles requires awareness, discipline, and grace. They discuss addiction through a lens of empathy, the moral compass and mental health connection, and why living out of alignment with your values quietly erodes your inner peace.Robert also opens up about his time in law enforcement as a Black officer navigating systems that didn't fully accept him — and how choosing alignment over security changed the trajectory of his life.This episode is about responsibility without shame. Compassion without weakness. Strength without ego.It is about becoming the person you once needed.If you have ever wrestled with trauma, questioned your path, struggled with forgiveness, or felt out of alignment with who you truly are — this conversation will meet you there.Your past does not disqualify you.Your pain does not define you.Your struggle can still write a better ending.Healing is not passive.

Sergio Alfaro, Army Medic and GWOT veteran, in Episode 234 of the Transition Drill Podcast, his experience highlights the importance of preparing for the mental and emotional side of transition, not just the next job or degree, and building support systems early instead of relying on a single post-service plan. Ultimately, his path reinforces that successful transition preparation requires adaptability, self-awareness, and permission to redefine success when the original mission no longer fits.Sergio talks about Iraq, PTSD, and the long road from wanting to become a doctor to rebuilding a life that actually works. If you're a veteran or first responder trying to figure out who you are after the job, this one's for you.Sergio was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Maywood and Burbank, seeing two very different worlds early on. He joined the Army with a long-term plans of becoming a doctor. In the Army, he became a medic, trained and deployed to Iraq in 2003–2004, based in Hamadi, west of Fallujah. He describes the reality of frequent mortar attacks, watching for IED threats, and the kind of moments that never really leave you. He also shares the loss of his commanding officer overseas, and how survivor's guilt and “why him, not me” thinking followed him home.After one enlistment, that turned into four and a half years because of stop-loss, Sergio struggled with trauma, but was hopeful of getting the option for the Army to send him to college to be a doctor. He wanted to keep serving and also go to school, but he ran into the “ask command” reality of the system, and it changed his outlook on staying in. He got out, determined to chase the goal on his own terms.That drive carries him all the way to acceptance at Harvard Medical School, with the GI Bill and Yellow Ribbon support helping make it possible. But also dealing with PTSD, a medical culture not built for that, and a training path that puts him in a VA inpatient psych ward rotation at the worst possible time. Things spiral, and he shares what it's like when your identity is tied to one mission and you feel it slipping away.The second half of this conversation is about what actually helped: support systems, weekly check-ins, and eventually getting connected with Wounded Warrior Project's Warriors to Work, job fairs, resume feedback, and a shift toward a new career path built around what he always loved most, training and teaching others.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Blue Line RoastingGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://bluelineroasting.comPromocode: Transition10Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

What if the bravest thing a man can do is ask for help? We open with a gut-punch story—kicked out at 17, sleeping in cars, forcing a smile—and follow the thread to a $20 lifeline, a cousin's spare room, and a lesson pride kept from landing: you don't have to carry it alone. Then Kenneth Ledale joins us. He's a Chicago artist, owner of Royalty Rugs, and co-founder of Tuft House, with years in Iraq and Afghanistan, a father who chose to become an artist so his kids could walk through doors already open. His take is raw and clear: admitting PTSD after years of silence didn't make him smaller; it made his life honest.We push past the clichés of “provider and protector” to ask why manhood leaves no room for slow days, questions, or therapy. Struggle gets treated like a trophy—trauma bonding in the military, “strong friend” culture in the city—until asking for help feels like surrender. We break that spell with practical tools: say no more often to protect your word, define your edge before you reach it, make explicit asks instead of testing people silently. Kenneth shows how Tuft House turns craft into community—an immersive rug-making experience that restores play, presence, and pride to a city that needs all three.There's more beneath the surface: why Black men distrust systems that label boys early and punish vulnerability; how safety talks with our sons steal innocence to save lives; and how legacy, control, and mortality twist our view of weakness. We share scripts for hard conversations, guardrails for relationships, and a reframing of tears as proof you've hit the limit of your current tools, not the limit of your strength. Along the way, we spotlight Rose Gold, our mentorship gala, and a giveaway: a custom rug and a Tuft House class to spark creativity and connection.If this conversation hits home, pass it forward—subscribe, rate, and leave a review.

Episode 375 of RevolutionZ has as guest Kathy Kelly. When journalists are barred and killed, doctors are targeted, and mountainous rubble hides unexploded ordnance, a society is violated twice—physically and narratively. Our guest, Kathy Kelly, connects what headlines obscure: how U.S. weapons shipments function as political green lights, how “ceasefire” rhetoric papers over daily violations, and how displacement in the West Bank is driven by soldiers, settlers, and a structure designed to make staying impossible.Kathy brings the human scale back into focus. From a makeshift white flag walk into Jenin to evenings with families in Gaza, she shares the intimate choices people make under siege—protecting elders, scavenging firewood, teaching children to read the sky for drones. These stories resist the flattening of body counts, revealing what war does to witnesses and perpetrators alike. Kathy explores how international law erodes when powerful states flout norms, why nuclear ambitions can spread under the guise of “civilian” programs, and how those choices ricochet into U.S. life through policing exchanges, PTSD, and the quiet normalization of force.Kathy also talks strategy. She tells how student encampments and divestment campaigns pried open university endowments and hedge fund ties. How cultural voices amplify names and memories that institutions try to erase. How growing activism keeps movements alive and oriented. Kathy reflects on practical commitments—from tax resistance to hospitality—that shift resources away from violence and toward care and building a revolution of values sturdy enough to change institutions: living more simply, sharing more fairly, ending the reflex to eliminate those who resist subordination to “national interests,” and actively organizing sustainable resistance. Her message: read and remember, organize locally, join boycott and divestment efforts, and align daily choices with the future you want. Support the show

I explore the concept of healing that, while initially invigorating, may evolve into a relentless job—a continuous performance review of emotions and symptoms. This episode serves as a pivotal reminder of the importance of stepping back from the rigorous management of our healing journey, allowing space for rest and reflection.We discuss how, in the beginning, healing can bring a sense of excitement and relief as individuals discover new tools and insights that resonate with their journey. However, over time, the joy of these practices can diminish, replaced by a sense of duty where healing feels more like a checklist than a nurturing relationship with oneself. The conversation highlights the possible pitfalls of self-monitoring and the fear of regression, emphasizing how these pressures can cloud our emotional landscape and hinder true healing.As I guide you through this discussion, I emphasize that the essence of healing lies not in constant vigilance but in cultivating a relationship with oneself that prioritizes curiosity and neutrality. We unpack the detrimental effects of a performance-oriented mindset, exploring how it can create an unyielding atmosphere of tension and exhaustion, particularly for those already navigating the challenges of anxiety or PTSD. Instead, I encourage a shift away from management—constantly wondering if we are doing enough—to a more compassionate stance that embraces listening to our needs and allowing moments of rest.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast #HealingFatigue #AnxietyRecovery #NervousSystemRegulation #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCareBurnout #GinaRyan #RestIsProductive #HealingJourney #AnxietySupport #MaryOliver #JeffFoster #Mindfulness #SafetyFirst #MentalRest #OvercomingAnxiety #BurnoutRecovery #GentleHealing #SoftAnimal #Neutrality #EndTheStruggle #Aloha #SelfCompassion #NervousSystemHealth #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textWhat happens when modern neuroscience, ancient plant medicine, and spiritual self-awareness collide?In this powerful conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with Dr. Leah Linder—naturopathic physician, reverend, and co-founder of Setas Seminary—to explore how psilocybin mushrooms are being used responsibly, ethically, and intentionally to support healing from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, addiction, and cognitive decline.Leah breaks down the actual science behind psilocybin—how it reduces neuroinflammation, stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and helps the brain form new neural pathways—while also explaining why integration and nervous system regulation matter far more than the ceremony itself.You'll also hear why psilocybin became a Schedule I substance, how federal religious protections allow safe access today, and why healing isn't about being “fixed,” but about learning to listen to your body and rewrite old stories.This episode is grounded, thoughtful, and eye-opening—perfect for anyone curious about the future of mental wellness, consciousness, and sustainable personal growth.

When Christina Babich's partner, Alex, died suddenly from a brain aneurysm while they were visiting his family in Italy, her world shattered in more ways than one. In addition to the grief of losing the person she loved and the future they were building together, Christina was also left to navigate the aftermath of a deeply traumatic event - one that profoundly impacted her nervous system, sense of safety, and identity.  In this episode, Christina shares what it was like to grieve a sudden, "out-of-order" death while also navigating the derealization, hypervigilance, and other ways the trauma of his death affected her. She talks about how being a "quasi widow" shaped the care and recognition she received and why platitudes about resilience and post-traumatic growth can sometimes feel alienating rather than supportive.  Christina also reflects on how her personal experience shaped her work as a psychologist specializing in grief and trauma, including the role of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), the pressure placed on people who are grieving to "transform" their pain, and the importance of being witnessed by someone who truly understands.  We discuss The difference between grief and trauma - and how they often coexist Derealization, PTSD, and nervous system responses after a sudden death What Christina means by "quasi-widow"  Why platitudes about strength and growth can feel harmful How Cognitive Processing Therapy was helpful for her Grieving lost identities, futures, and imagined lives  Finding connection with others who can relate  Living day-to-day when the future feels overwhelming  Connect with Christina Website: https://www.christinababich.com/ Substack: christinababich.substack.com 

What if you could literally rewire your brain with the power of your mind?
This week, host Erin Kerry is joined by neurosurgeon, award-winning author, and Iraq War veteran Dr. Lee Warren, whose new book The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery reveals how neuroscience and faith work together to transform our emotional health. Drawing from functional brain imaging research, decades of surgical expertise, and his own story of PTSD and devastating loss, Dr. Warren shares why 80% of your thoughts and feelings aren't based in truth — and how changing your mind can truly change your life. They discuss the tools he uses to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and the emotional spirals that keep us stuck. Dr. Warren explains why not all adversity is trauma, how the brain's design reflects God's intentionality, and why curiosity is more powerful than reactivity. Through the concept of “self-brain surgery,” he teaches how to access the resilience your brain was built for. If you've ever wondered how faith, neuroscience, and daily habits can shift your emotional landscape, this conversation will empower you with practical steps toward hope, stability, and renewed mental strength. This episode is for anyone who wants to break old patterns, understand the brain through a Biblical lens, and develop the emotional tools to live a healthier, more connected life.

Is the real crisis today economic — or architectural? In this episode, we challenge the idea that loneliness and despair come from a broken ladder of upward mobility. What if the problem isn't that we can't climb… but that we were taught to measure our worth by climbing in the first place? Drawing from Middlemarch, modern work culture, and personal experience, this conversation explores why craftsmanship, authorship, and daily building may be the antidote to vertical despair.In this episode:Why the “career ladder” mindset fuels anxiety and comparisonThe difference between climbing and buildingHow craftsmanship creates internal pride (and hunger)What Lydgate's crisis in Middlemarch teaches us about collapsed ambitionWhy being seen — not promoted — can save a lifeThe power of asking: “Am I actually in danger right now?”Moving from passive consumption to generative actionHow to build meaning even when the system feels unstable

This episode steps outside of our normal hunting and outdoor podcasting genre for a conversation with a true American and real-life hero.  Anthony Dyer is our guest this week.  He is a United States Air Force Veteran who served as a Special Missions Aviator.  Anthony was the guy who was activated at a moment's notice when fellow troops on the ground needed immediate air support, and during his military career he few hundreds of high-risk missions; including the 2018 Jolly Green Rescue Mission.  Anthony is also the author of the book "Moon Child" which talks about veteran struggles post-service and the return to normal life.  During this conversation with Anthony we discuss his military service, including the nuts and bolts of his job and some of these specific missions.  However, the most significant part of our discussing is his story, experience and encouragement to others when it is time to find purpose and identity back home.Fall Obsession Podcast is sponsored by:Hoot Camo Company (https://hootcamo.com/)Bear River Archery (https://www.bearriverarchery.com/)Tactacam Reveal Cameras (https://www.tactacam.com/)The Outdoor Call Radio App (https://www.theoutdoorcallradio.com/)

In this episode of The Charity Charge Show, we sit down with Rob Scheer, founder of Comfort Cases, a nonprofit that has delivered more than 300,000 backpacks filled with essentials to children entering foster care across all 50 states, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, and soon Canada.Growing Up in the SystemRob did not come to foster care as an advocate. He came as a child who lived it.He entered foster care because of abuse, not neglect. Cigarette burns on his body are reminders he still carries at 59 years old. Like many children in the system, he became a number, a file, a case. When he aged out at 18, he joined the tens of thousands of young people who are pushed out with no safety net. Within 24 hours, most become homeless. Rob was one of them.He survived addiction, multiple suicide attempts, and repeated psychiatric hospitalizations. At 24, after nearly dying from an overdose, he made a decision that changed everything. He chose forgiveness. Not to excuse what happened, but to take his life back.That decision did not make him a hero. It made him accountable.The Numbers We Do Not Like to Talk AboutDuring the episode, Rob challenges some of the most commonly repeated foster care statistics and explains why many of them understate the reality.Here is what stands out:More than 400,000 children are in foster care in the United States.Roughly 23,000 youth age out every year.New homelessness counts show over 80 percent of people experiencing homelessness were touched by foster care at some point.Former foster youth are far more likely to experience PTSD than combat veterans.Only about 8 percent earn a four year college degree. That number improved recently, but it is still unacceptable.Rob makes one point very clear. If a child enters foster care, society has already failed. ---------------------------About Charity ChargeCharity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.

After more than a decade living in the U.S. without permanent legal status, Alix Dick calculated the cost of her survival: $1.9 million. That figure includes everything from wage theft and underpayment to complex PTSD and under-the-table medical visits. Alix talks about those things with Anita as she discusses her new book “The Cost of Being Undocumented,” co-written with Stanford University professor Antero Garcia. Alix traces her personal story from growing up in Sinaloa, Mexico to fleeing to the U.S. with her younger brother when she was 20. She and Antero discuss misconceptions about undocumented workers, describe the challenges of telling Alix's story, and talk about the many costs that didn't make the tally sheet — like lost dreams.Meet the guests:- Alix Dick, activist, writer, filmmaker and co-author of "The Cost of Being Undocumented"- Antero Garcia, associate professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford and co-author of "The Cost of Being Undocumented"Read the transcript | Review the podcast on your preferred platformFollow Embodied on Instagram Leave a message for Embodied

Katie Nolan crashes Chit Chat Wednesday and she brings sports chaos: Pats/Bears misery bonding, the sacred “don't celebrate until it's confirmed” PTSD that only real fans understand, and Katie breaking down why the Super Bowl is basically a corporate convention with occasional football. Then Jared drops the ultimate peace treaty idea: make political candidates order Buffalo Wild Wings together before debating… which leads to an absurdly detailed, oddly unifying wing order negotiation (bone-in vs boneless diplomacy included). It's fast, funny, and somehow wholesome, like yelling about football and fries with a friend who actually gets it!Jared is on tour!

Jessica Buchanan was a schoolteacher from Ohio who followed a calling to serve overseas. That calling led her to East Africa, meaningful humanitarian work, and eventually into one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable. Jessica shares the full story of how she was kidnapped in Somalia, held hostage in the desert for 93 days, and ultimately rescued by SEAL Team Six. She opens up about the moments leading up to her capture, the role intuition tried to play, what captivity was really like, and how she survived mentally when survival felt impossible. We also talk about the aftermath from PTSD, rebuilding identity, motherhood, faith, and what it means to “survive survival.”

In this raw, no-filter return appearance, they cover everything from the renewed Bin Laden raid controversy and recent defamation lawsuit, to psychedelics for PTSD, family life, geopolitics, Greenland, cannabis ventures, and life after the Teams.
