In this episode, Mo and I sit down with Mary McFarland, the wife of Tony McFarland—a Bronze Star recipient who returned from service with PTSD and profound changes. Mary shares how they met, the arc of Tony’s military career, and how they raised a family through deployments and difficult transitions.

Mary also recounts her personal path: returning to school, earning her nursing degree and then a master’s in nursing, and now working with the VA to mentor and counsel veterans in crisis. Her story is a compelling blend of devotion to family, perseverance, and service to others.

We appreciate Mary’s time and insight—her passion for her husband and veteran advocacy shines through. We hope you enjoy this heartfelt conversation.
