Episode 12: Coming home isn’t always the end of the war

Just last month I had to opportunity to speak with a military caregivers resource group from a multi-state hospital system out west. They invited me to share my personal story of struggling with substance misuse, post-traumatic stress, and an undiagnosed traumatic brain injury and how I stumbled into post-traumatic growth to get my life back on track. Although it was a little tough sharing such a personal story and being vulnerable, I enjoyed the rich discussion we had after about how we can build on our strengths as veterans, come together and support each other and change lives.

For today’s episode, I’ve recorded my story of ups, downs, struggles, and wins. It is my hope that the challenges I experienced can be prevented or at least quickly and effectively addressed for the future generation of veterans.
