What happens after our heroes return home?
In this episode of The Glamorous Grind, we sit down with Dr. Gerald P. Porter—veteran, senior USPS executive, and advocate for North County Veterans Stand Down. We uncover the often-invisible battles veterans face once they leave the military: PTSD, homelessness, unemployment, incarceration, and fractured families.
🎖️ From personal stories to systemic failures, we explore:
- Why so many veterans struggle with re-entry into civilian life
- The alarming rise of homeless women veterans
- Legal and mental health challenges that go unaddressed
- The heartbreaking connection between divorce, trauma, and identity loss
- Real solutions from real advocates changing lives
💥 Plus, our signature “Red Flag / Green Flag” segment takes on discrimination in housing, employment, and support systems for veterans.
This episode isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action.
👉 If you or someone you love is a veteran navigating post-military life, this episode is a must-watch.
