Have you ever been curious about what you, as the military spouse, can do for your service member in terms of helping them through their mental health journey? Keith, veteran-turned-realtor and podcast host of the veteran podcast: Battle Buddy Podcast, shares his own mental health journey and how we can help as the spouse, in this hostile culture around PTSD and mental health.

In this episode, Keith and I discuss:
- Keith's own military journey, from getting recruited, to first deployments and Afghanistan prison camps, and more.
- The Battle Buddy Podcast; how it helped Keith open his eyes to his own mental health concerns and why it's important to just START if you're passionate about it.
- Keith's own mental health journey from the initial actions that fed the need to stay busy and not "think", to going from 0-60 in front of his mother in law.
- How the spouse can help; and why we are also kind of fighting an uphill battle.
