Join us for an enlightening episode where Tom Burgess, from Save a Warrior UK, shares his personal journey through trauma and emotional healing. Tom's experiences as a veteran guide listeners through the often-overlooked landscapes of vulnerability and the strength required to confront one's own pain. 

He unpacks the heavy weight of denial and the societal stigma surrounding masculinity, which often leads to deep feelings of worthlessness. As he candidly discusses his battles with alcohol and the road to sobriety, Tom offers profound wisdom on understanding addiction as a symptom rather than a standalone issue. 

This engaging conversation highlights the transformative power of compassion—both for oneself and in the wider community. Tom emphasizes that embracing our emotions can serve as a catalyst to deeper connections, urging listeners to reflect on their journeys and seek support when needed. 

Be inspired by Tom's journey and learn how compassion, vulnerability, and connection can change lives.
