In this episode of Chasing Thoughts hosts Mindy Aisling and Keith Dauch sit down with Pat Cooper, a digital marketer, Star Wars fan, and one who recognized early in his life that paving your own way is more true and authentic than dedication to the prescribed route we are taught to take.

During this interview Pat shares his story of struggling with school simply because it held no interest for him. As Pat began to pave his own path in life, he earned his degree after finding his passion. Pat talks about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur, the times and joy and the times of horrific fear. Through the fear, though, he learned the importance of staying true to yourself, and learning to slow down and prioritize your mental health above all.

If you are feeling lost and confused with what direction your life is taking, or if you are an entrepreneur following your passion, Pat gives some amazing tips and advice to ensure that you always find joy in what you do.

Embark on a powerful journey with hosts Mindy Aisling and Keith Dauch as they delve into the profound challenges and triumphant moments of rebuilding one's identity after military service.

In this episode Mindy guides Keith in sharing his story of military service and the challenges he faces as a veteran. This continuation of Keith’s story highlights the realizations Keith came across which opened his eyes to the light of hope that he lost years prior.

Keith lived for fifteen years with PTSD without knowing what was wrong with him. Once he learned about PTSD and realized all the things he thought were “wrong” with him were symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress, he believed his hope would be found at the VA. This only began a fight with the VA which lasted several years to get the help he needed.

As Keith began to research and experiment on himself there were many ups and downs. Keith talks about the lows, where he believed this was all another dead end for him, and the slow, but profound, understanding that change is not a linear journey. This sparked a hope in him that he hadn’t felt in years, and that spark turned into a burning passion to shine as bright as he possibly can.

Mindy brings a compassionate and understanding atmosphere, as together, they explore the complexities of changing your identity. We hope you join the conversation as we explore the challenges and triumphs of rebuilding identity after military service.
