In this raw and powerful episode of A Mental Health Break, we sit down with author, veteran, and father Jeremy Bracamontes, whose life journey embodies resilience and self-reinvention. From growing up in California group homes to finding discipline and purpose in the military, Jeremy shares how he transformed trauma into strength—and how he now leads with compassion in both family and business.

We dive deep into:

• Jeremy’s powerful message from his book Resilient: A Story of Group Home Survival
• His battles with rage, how meditation and exercise became his lifelines
• The emotional toll of entrepreneurship and parenting—and the self-awareness it demands
• The importance of authentic support systems and how they anchor mental wellness
• His next chapter: blending truth with fiction to tell stories that matter

Whether you’re going through tough days or searching for a reason to keep going, Jeremy’s honesty will remind you that healing is possible—and that your past doesn’t define your future.

🎧 Tune in for an honest conversation about mental health, personal growth, and the strength it takes to rise again.
