When the mission ends, the questions often begin. Jeremy Stalnecker spent years building his identity around service, leadership, and responsibility as a United States Marine infantry officer. But when combat ended and the uniform came off, Jeremy found himself facing a different kind of battle, one marked by anger, isolation, loss of identity, and a quiet belief that he was completely alone. This episode traces Jeremy's journey from combat leadership to personal collapse, and ultimately to clarity. Through painful self-reflection, accountability, faith, and community, Jeremy discovered that the wounds carried after service are not signs of weakness, they are invitations to heal. His story speaks to anyone who has ever lost their sense of purpose after a major life transition and wondered if hope was still possible. Guest Bio Jeremy Stalnecker is the CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping military service members, veterans, first responders, and their families heal from the unseen wounds of trauma, including PTSD. Raised in San Jacinto, California, Jeremy pursued his lifelong goal of becoming a United States Marine, earning an active-duty commission in 1999 and serving as an infantry platoon commander with 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. In 2003, Jeremy deployed to Kuwait and Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, where his unit breached the berm separating Kuwait and Iraq and helped secure Baghdad. Following his return from combat, Jeremy transitioned into full-time ministry, serving first as an Assistant Pastor at Coastline Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, and later as Senior Pastor of Bay Area Baptist Church in Fremont, California. In 2015, he joined Mighty Oaks full time, uniting his military experience and ministry calling to help others find healing, identity, and purpose after trauma. Jeremy and his wife Susanne are the parents of four children and remain deeply committed to serving those who are hurting. You'll hear About Why leaving military service can feel like losing your identity overnight The unseen emotional wounds many veterans carry home How anger and isolation quietly take over after transition The moment Jeremy realized he was not alone in his struggle How faith, purpose, and community restore hope after trauma   Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:15 Jeremy's Path Into the Marine Corps 05:30 Combat Service and Leadership in Iraq 09:00 Returning Home and Losing Identity 13:30 Anger, Isolation, and Impact on Family 18:00 Being Confronted and Forced to Take Responsibility 22:00 The Realization: "I'm Not the Only One" 26:00 Reconnecting With Fellow Marines and Facing Pain 30:30 Identity, Purpose, and the Role of Faith 34:30 Founding Mighty Oaks and Serving Others 38:30 Leadership, Accountability, and Healing Together 42:00 Jeremy's Message to Anyone Feeling Hopeless 45:00 Chuck's Closing Reflections Chuck's Challenge This week, reflect on who you are beyond your roles, titles, or past seasons.

Lately it seems like lots of Americans are moving abroad. But, believe it or not, some American expats are moving back to the States. Today we're joined by one such ex-expat, or repatriate. Seattle-native Brie Ripley has been on the show before. We first interviewed her back in 2024 after she moved to Rome without ever having been there before. She joined us again about sixe months later, after she had settled in. And today we sit down with her to talk about why she and her husband decided to move back to the US and what it's been like to repatriate at such a time in history. She reminisces about the things she misses about Rome, discusses what led to the decision to leave that sometimes feels like a mistake, and shares her thoughts about what it feels like to leave a place just as you're starting to feel at home now. She also talks about what it feels like to move back to a country that in many ways you can't recognize, how her priorities have shifted after living in Europe, and the realities of culture shock.

In today's episode, we explore the quiet power of returning home to yourself—especially when life feels chaotic, loud, or uncertain. In a world full of spiritual techniques, answers, and distractions, true transformation often comes not from adding more, but from choosing one simple practice and returning to it again and again.In this episode, we explore:How choosing one consistent practice calms overwhelm and creates inner stabilityWhy a mantra works through repetition and presence—not perfectionHow returning to one word or sound builds courage, clarity, and trust in your inner guidanceExamples of simple anchor words you can begin using todayA closing moment of reflection and blessing to carry into your weekThis episode invites you into the wisdom of devotion over accumulation through the use of a single mantra or anchor word. Whether it's a chant, a sacred word, a breath, or silence itself, this practice becomes a refuge—your inner home.You'll learn why a mantra works not because it's “perfect” or tied to a tradition, but because it reconnects you with your own inner stillness and guidance. I also share my personal relationship with an ancient chant that points to the unchanging awareness within us all—and how you can discover your own anchor.We close with a gentle blessing and short meditation to help you return to yourself in real time.Call to Action:Choose one word, sound, or phrase this week.

After more than a decade of war, Syria is witnessing significant refugee and internal displacement returns – even as renewed hostilities in parts of the country force others to flee once again.Nearly 1.4 million refugees have returned from neighbouring countries since the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024. Almost two million internally displaced Syrians have also headed home to their places of origin.But fresh fighting in Aleppo and the northeast in recent weeks has triggered new displacement, while harsh winter conditions are compounding humanitarian needs.To explain what's driving these movements and how UN agencies are responding on the ground, UN News's Nancy Sarkis has been speaking to Céline Schmitt, spokesperson for the UN refugee agency in Syria:

Some callings do not push you forward. They pull you home.In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark sits down with master breathwork facilitator Sal Liberti to explore the journey that led him back to Peru — not to escape, but to serve.Sal shares how years of global travel, personal development training, and hands-on facilitation shaped his expertise in breathwork and why true mastery is built through presence, repetition, and responsibility rather than digital scale or spiritual trends.This conversation goes deep into what separates real facilitation from surface-level wellness, the power of hyperlocal community work, and why breathwork became the bridge between personal growth and embodied healing.If you are a creator, healer, or leader who feels the tension between expansion and alignment, this episode will challenge how you define success — and invite you to listen more closely to where your work is truly needed.What part of this conversation resonated with you most?Was it the moment Sal chose alignment over scale, or the idea of being called back rather than forward?Drop your reflection in the comments.

“HEROIN ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE” w/ David Cohen | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this powerful episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, a raw and unfiltered story of survival takes center stage as David Cohen shares the gripping truth of his journey through addiction, chaos, and redemption. From forging prescriptions on Windows 95 to surviving a near-fatal heroin overdose that left him in a coma for days, his life spiraled through crime, crack houses, and moments where death felt inches away. But through unimaginable lows came a turning point—one sparked by family intervention, a gritty county-funded rehab, and a candlelit meeting that hit him with the same force as his first high. David's transformation from a young man chasing destruction to a clinical leader helping others fight the same battle is nothing short of extraordinary. This episode delivers gut-wrenching honesty, dramatic moments, and the undeniable proof that recovery is real, possible, and powerful. Tune in to hear how grit, grace, and relentless willingness can pull someone from the darkest depths into a life of purpose. His story is a reminder that no one is too far gone to rise again.

In the 1980s, the leader of Poland's Solidarity Movement, campaigning against communism, promised the country's economy would one day rival Japan. The crowd laughed. Now that dream has become a reality. By the end of this year, Polish living standards are forecast to match those in the Asian economic powerhouse, and Poles across Europe are returning home.

Natalie welcomes guest Tamar Ben Giges who made aliyah with her husband and six children from Australia to Jerusalem two years ago. Tamar was a high school teacher and continues here in Israel to be a teacher. Her husband is an accountant. She shares the difficulties of living alone in Israel without family support, and comments on the need to prepare for career changes and budget changes to make things work. Natalie's second guest is Rabbi Ken Spiro who shares that it is important for Jews to learn and be unified now as never before, and it is essential to make a "paradigm shift" that is, all Jews should plan to move to Israel. He clearly states that the world is cleansing itself of it's Jews and the diaspora is shutting down. Frightening words, but true. Rabbi Ken suggests reading "The Israel Test" and stresses that being Jewish is never easy but it is meaningful. Follow Rabbi Spiro at KenSpiro.com.

Watch on YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1nNm2rxY-Q A woman's voice broke through his encrypted radio, reading his team's obituaries. Twenty-two men surrounded by 800 enemy soldiers—and somehow Dr. Dick Thompson survived to tell the story. Code-named “Dynamite,” Dick led recon teams deep behind enemy lines in Vietnam. The North Vietnamese called him “completely nuts,” and they weren't wrong. He chained seven claymores together, slid 150 feet down a rope with bare hands to save a crew under fire, and once called in cluster bombs on his own position—fifteen landed inside his perimeter, none detonated. But this conversation isn't just war stories. It's what combat taught him about fear, stress, leadership, and faith. Dick explains the psychology of battle, why “stress sweat” smells different, how box breathing saved his life, and why adapt became his team's defining rule. Tim and Troy go straight into the hardest questions: making irreversible decisions, coming home to protesters spitting on him, the difference between killing with a knife vs. a gun, and whether surviving fifteen unexploded bomblets is anything but divine intervention. Dick doesn't flinch. He talks about the voice that saved his life, the smell of an ambush, the illusion of being bulletproof at nineteen, and the leadership principle that works in boardrooms and battlefields alike: lead from the front. This episode will change how you think about stress, decision-making, and what the human body can do under extreme pressure. Dick's wisdom applies far beyond combat—to every impossible choice and every moment you must decide whether to freeze or move. Dr. Dick Thompson is a combat veteran, psychologist, Mensa member, and author of the Code Named Dynamite series. Today, he trains law enforcement, first responders, and special operations forces in stress management and high-performance leadership.

November Neuroscience for the Neurodivergent Nervous SystemIn this deeply grounding episode, we explore the gentle, transformative world of somatic regulation - the bottom-up path that helps a neurodivergent nervous system feel safe, calm, and connected again.You'll learn why the body is often the first place we must return to when the mind becomes overwhelmed, and how sensation, rhythm, movement, touch, breath, and stimming can become powerful allies for healing. Together, we'll explore how widening your gaze, adjusting your posture, shaking out accumulated stress like animals do in the wild, and allowing intuitive movement can shift you from dysregulation into presence.With insights from neuroscience, mindfulness, Ram Dass, and trauma-informed wisdom, we'll reframe somatic practices not as “techniques,” but as ancient forms of remembering - ways the body whispers, “This is the way home.”This episode includes a deeply soothing Yoga Nidra journey, guiding you into the restorative space between wakefulness and sleep, where your nervous system can truly unwind, repair, and return to itself.By the end, you'll not only understand your body more -you'll trust it more.You'll hear it more.You'll come home to it more.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

My guest is DJ Shipley, a former Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ's life is one marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear, practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male, female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves.
