In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with a veteran student who opens up about his journey from undergraduate to graduate studies at Naropa. With honesty and vulnerability, he shares how returning to school shaped his understanding of healing, identity, and purpose.

Now working at a nonprofit that supports fellow veterans, he reflects on the importance of community, mental health awareness, and finding meaning through service. His story offers a powerful reminder that education can be both an inner and outer act of transformation.
