These past 20 weeks have been a profound journey. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for the support from you, our listeners, as we've shared tales of adversity, resilience, and transformation. There's an undeniable power in connection and self-awareness, and we've seen how these forces can bring about change. Together, we've explored the trials of trauma, the strength it takes to face one's reflection and the courage required to decide it's time for change.We've looked deeply into the power of love and kindness, and how they can sometimes be the only thing standing between a person and their darkest moments. As veterans ourselves, we've shared personal stories of overcoming trauma, embracing self-awareness, and recognizing when it's time for change. We've seen firsthand how a single event can ripple out, impacting not just an individual, but those around them. Our candid discussions about relationships, parenting, and personal growth have underscored the importance of connection and the power it holds.In the end, it's not just about surviving; it's about living and thriving. We've laughed and learned through our many adventures and challenges, embracing the lessons they've brought us. The joy of riding motorcycles, the fulfillment of charity work, and the importance of spending time with family – these are just some of the experiences that have enriched our lives. Thank you for embracing this journey with us. Now, as we prepare for the upcoming changes to our podcast, we look forward to continuing to share, learn, and grow together.
