Join us as we explore the intricate journey of transitioning from military to civilian life with our guest, Jeremy Stalnecker, CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation and a former United States Marine. Jeremy sheds light on the identity challenges veterans face once they step out of uniform, highlighting the stark contrast between military and civilian cultures. We discuss the urgent need for better support systems to assist veterans, emphasizing the importance of connecting with others who have undergone similar transitions to combat isolation and the alarming rates of veteran suicides.
