What does it take to find purpose after serving in the military? Join us as we hear from Michael, a Navy veteran whose story is both inspiring and deeply human. Growing up in a Navy family, Michael's 15-year service journey took him from San Diego to Virginia Beach, where he worked with special operators. After leaving the uniform behind, Michael faced profound emotional and spiritual challenges, leading him to establish a church for those who feel out of place in traditional religious settings. Now, as an advocate with Stop Soldier Suicide, Michael is committed to providing free, confidential crisis care to veterans and service members, creating safe spaces for those in need.
From navigating the tumultuous transition from military to civilian life, to battling a cancer diagnosis during the pandemic, Michael's journey is a testament to resilience and the power of support systems. We dive into the significance of human connections, the importance of a solid plan, and the impact of acknowledging pre-service traumas. Hear his heartfelt narrative about the roles of a supportive spouse and the comforting presence of a dog in overcoming obstacles. Michael's contribution to "Wounds to Wisdom Healing Through Veteran and First Responder Narratives" offers practical advice and a beacon of hope for those struggling, reminding us all that we are never truly alone. Tune in for an episode full of wisdom, empathy, and inspiration.
