WARNING: Listener discretion is advised. This episode discusses a suicide attempt.

Liz McConaghy was a former RAF loadmaster. Our latest episode unpacks  raw and riveting transformation from ramps of a Chinook, to a beacon of hope as a mental health advocate.

Her journey, detailed in "Chinook Crew Chick" and echoed in her keynote speeches, reveals the grueling reality of physical injuries, the specter of PTSD, and the pursuit of new purpose post-service. Liz's story isn't just about survival; it's a testimony to the power of vulnerability in overcoming life's darkest moments and finding solidarity in shared struggles.

Grief and trauma can weave complex webs in our lives, but understanding how to navigate these challenges can illuminate pathways to healing. This episode doesn't shy away from exploring the intricate dance between professional duty and personal pain that Liz experienced within the RAF's stoic culture.

Liz emphasizes that resilience is not about being unbreakable; it's about growing stronger through setbacks and discovering that our worth extends far beyond our achievements.

Her message is clear: sharing our narratives can foster profound connections and serve as a catalyst for personal and collective growth. Prepare to be moved and motivated as we explore the profound impact that openness, self-care, and teamwork can have on our mental health and overall well-being.
