No One Fights Alone – Remembrance Day Special
Show NotesTrigger Warning: Discussion of car crash, near‑fatal incident, veteran mental health, suicide risk
On this Remembrance Day special, Elaine digs into what happens when the battlefield follows a veteran home. She opens with a personal story: her father, deployed in Gaza with the Canadian military, listening over a crackling ham radio while his daughter lies dying thousands of miles away.
The message? Serving is only half the battle. The returning, invisible war inside many veterans begins long after the uniforms come off. Using current stats from Veterans Affairs Canada, she shows how men and women who served face significantly higher risk of suicide — not because war wound them, but because silence did.
This episode honours the fallen, yes — and fiercely fights for the living. If you’re a veteran, or love someone who is, this one’s for you. Because no one fights alone.

- The myth of resilience: training for war not for what happens after.
- A direct message to veterans and military families: you are not broken, you are human.
- A call to every listener: if you see a poppy, ask “How are you really doing?” — and listen.

BioElaine Lindsay @TheDarkPollyanna is your host and guest today.
Some say---She walks the fault lines with ink-stained hands, sketching hope where the sky cracked.
Elaine, Hope Cartographer & Shadow Alchemist known as TheDarkPollyanna, navigates the fault lines between despair and resilience, distilling truth from trauma and weaving raw emotional landscapes into language. She maps the brutal beauty of survival, offering others a compass made of candor, contradiction, and sparks that refuse to die. Not here to fix, here to witness, reflect, and remind you that staying is its own kind of sacred work
