  • S3 Ep6 - Finding Purpose in Post-Traumatic Growth (Special Guest: Mike Nasche)

    PTSD. Just the mere mention of the term can create thoughts in our minds we'd just as soon forget.

    Thankfully, there is life on the other side of a traumatic event, and that life - it's called post-traumatic growth.

    Check out this episode of the show where Aaron interviews Mike Nasche, Executive Director of Impact A Hero. At Impact A Hero, Mike is finding not only his own purpose in post-traumatic growth, but is helping other Veterans find theirs as well.

    For immediate help in dealing with a personal crisis, please call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat, or text 838255. Veterans Crisis Line responders are trained to listen and offer support to Veterans in crisis and their loved ones.
