Heroes At Home

Welcome to the Heroes At Home Podcast, where we believe heroes can thrive both at work and at home. This podcast is for those who stand watch while we sleep, who run into buildings while others run out, for those who deploy to hard places to have hard fights… and for the families and communities that support them. Through candid conversation, we will discuss the things that don’t get glorified in the media…what happens when our heroes come home. We’ll be talking with active military, veterans and first responders -- their partners, children, friends, and beyond, so together, we can build Stronger Families.

    The Downward Spiral of Mental Health

    With suicide being a topic that embodies darkness and despair, it is natural to want to avoid talking about it. It is a subject so heavy with statistics that your brain and your heart will try to stiff-arm it at every corner. Suicide is not something that is brought up at a dinner party or a company picnic yet in the proper setting, it can launch a conversation so deep that it can instill a purpose. Hear from Dana Jackson as she retells her widow’s story of watching her husband’s light dim over time until it would eventually extinguish. Listen to Dana’s journey of walking alongside her late husband Erik as he struggled with physical pain leading to mental strain and his loss of identity at work and at home. Understand the role that PTSD had in their marriage and why, as a society, we do not speak up more to let our inner circle know that we are not ok. Gain insight on how to take the smallest of steps in accepting help through resources that are geared toward your profession.

He eventually found faith through conversations with other veterans and joined a church with his wife.
