61 UnF*ck Your Boundaries with Faith Harper

Mike talks with Shauna Springer and Jason Roncoroni, co-authors of the new book, "Beyond the Military: A Leader's Handbook for Warrior Reintegration." We talk about why it is so hard to successfully transition from military to veteran and rejoin civilian life. Jason and Shauna's book, which is available on Amazon now, includes practical application exercises to help you nail that transition into a meaningful and fulfilling life. I really enjoyed this interview and how Jason and Shauna find the missing keys to a good transition.

Lani Hankins is an Army vet who deployed to Afghanistan. Working in a war zone was no cake walk, but Lani found the return home to be the tougher battle. Mike and Lani talk about some of the misconceptions of trauma and PTSD - where it comes from, how it doesn't have to be from combat, and why other veterans can really turn on the hate.   Lani is the host of Kruse Corner, a podcast whose name is an homage to a soldier who took his own life after returning home and becoming one of the 22 veterans per day to complete a suicide each day. Through her writing and podcast, Lani leads the charge to help those who are hurting to connect with each other and to stomp the stigma of PTSD and moral injury into the dirt.
