Send us a text

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to hang up the uniform and transition back to civilian life? Big Grizz from The Big Grizz Show joins me to unpack the often-unspoken trials that veterans and first responders face during this significant life shift. We dive into the healing power of nature, from the tranquility of fishing to the buzz of beekeeping, and how these activities offer a peaceful respite for the mind. Big Grizz also shares the profound impact of connecting with a therapist who has walked in similar boots, a camaraderie that can unlock the path to emotional expression and healing. Our conversation illuminates the commendable efforts by Veterans Empowered Together, an organization championing a variety of therapies tailored to veterans’ well-being.

Memories, they stick with us, sometimes in the form of traditions or reflective pauses, like the ones I find myself in every Memorial Day. I get personal in this episode, revealing my own battles with health and the motivation behind giving veterans a voice through my podcast. Discover how meaningful collaborations with MBR and DV Radio have blossomed, celebrating connections that support our heroes. We also touch on the powerful work of faith-based groups like Lady Liberty and the Mighty Oaks Foundation, dedicating their resources to guide those grappling with PTSD. From the heart of Nashville, we recount a vivid encounter with songwriter Mitch Rossell and close on thoughts of faith, values, and a resonant message from Acts 15.

The episode wraps with a poignant reflection on the essence of Memorial Day and the reverence it demands. We share stirring anecdotes that underscore the significance of this day for those who have served, clarifying the distinct honors we bestow upon our military during Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day. Hear about the respectful celebration of our fallen heroes, borne out in community initiatives like the "Walk for the Fallen," a testament to the enduring respect and remembrance we hold for the brave souls who gave their all. Join us for a narrative that pays homage to those who’ve served, the unbreakable bonds forged, and the collective respect we must uphold for their sacrifices.
