What happens when the uniform comes off—but the battle doesn’t end?

In this episode of Aligned As F*#%, Yahweh Kent sits down with Navy veteran, actor, and Mission 22 advocate Paul Rossi for an honest conversation about sobriety, healing, and finding purpose after military service. Paul shares his personal journey through addiction, recovery, and self-discovery, and how sobriety became a gateway to deeper healing rather than a loss of identity.

Together, they explore the impact of military service on mental health, the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life, and why community and brotherhood are essential to recovery. The conversation also highlights Paul’s work with Mission 22, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans through mental health advocacy, purpose-driven service, and connection.

If you’re navigating sobriety, life after service, or the search for meaning beyond a former identity, this episode offers grounded insight, lived experience, and a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t require abandoning strength—it requires redefining it.
