Besides being a son to two WWII parents, he’s also portrayed military members in an authentic way through various films.

    Military Spouse and Caregiver Fatigue - How Can we Help?

    This week we are joined by Christina Whittemore, a military spouse turned therapist. She shares her story of going through many challenges with her marine husband and becoming his caregiver after his diagnosis with PTSD and TBI. This eventually took a toll on her own mental health leading to her almost taking her life. She eventually got the support she needed and now wants to help other military spouses who were in a similar position. This is a fantastic conversation and feel free to reach out to Christina herself with any questions @cwprincss Thank you for pressing play on this small veteran podcast.

    Moving Back Home After the Military - Challenges and Perks

    Some veterans get out of the military and decide to go back to their hometown. It is always a good option because you know you will have support there, family/friends. But it also comes with its own challenges and expectations.  You may be picturing your hometown exactly how it was as you left and be dissapointed to see things have moved on without you.  Or you could see everyone doing the same old shit they used to be doing and feel like you don't belong anymore as you have grown from your military experience. And you could even feel a little of both!  This episode we are going to chat about re-integrating into your hometown and how it is completely normal to feel like a stranger!

I would say the theme of this episode is navigating unexpected transitions and how focusing on the thing in front of you instead of the end results is not only the key to success but to knowing yourself on a deeper level. Thank you to all who joined and special thanks to Carey for joining! Thank you for pressing play on this small veteran podcast. If you enjoyed leave a little love with a review.
