In this episode, I had the privilege to sit down with Rachel Oswald, a military mental health advocate, who shares her journey of overcoming adversity, toxic relationships, and mental health struggles. Her work focuses on preventing suicides in the military and veteran community, and she emphasizes the importance of play and self-care, specifically with her two-year old daughter. Rachel's vision is to end suicides in the military and connect individuals to resources for mental health support. Her biggest personal accomplishment has been realizing she is in fact capable, and it is all about perspective and creating a growth mindset for yourself.
