Connecting those suffering in silence to a PTSD community. Please share our page and follow along on Instagram.

Podcast episodes feature veterans, spouses, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, psychologists, professors, and anyone with resources to support our community. Episodes are available on our website, your favorite streaming services and Youtube. I am always looking for veterans or first responders who have battled PTSD to join me on the podcast. Additionally if you support, provide services

for this community, or have extensive knowledge of benefits available, please reach out. I would love to have a chat and share that knowledge with the community.

A nonprofit that deeply resonated: Veteran’s Last Patrol.

This organization exists to befriend, honor, and support veterans in hospice care - those in their final fight, on their last patrol. Through connection and companionship, they remind us that no veteran should face the end of life alone.

Because service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off, and neither should our support.

Your journey is uniquely yours, but how great would it have been to have had a roadmap along the way?

When Shawn Welsh, founder of the VET S.O.S. Podcast, joined me last year, he shared about his next mission: launching a nonprofit called Veterans Sharing Our Stories.

If you missed it, hear more in Episode 67, available wherever you listen to podcasts!

A standout resource from Episode 67 with Shawn Welsh: the U.S. Army's Master Resilience Training.

The program is built around positive psychology and designed to help service members (and their families) navigate life’s challenges.

It’s about developing the skills to bounce back, stay grounded, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

One of the reminders that stuck with me last year: we don’t always have to focus on the bad.

What would you say to yourself at the start of this year?
What do you hope you’ll remember by the end of it?

Write it down.
Seal it up.
Revisit it in December when you've come further than you think.

Here’s to reflection, resilience, and whatever healing looks like for you in 2026.

As we roll into a new year, I want to take a moment to look back on 2025.

This past year, we shared stories that were raw, real, and deeply human - from veterans and survivors to mental health experts and spiritual seekers.

Each conversation reminded us that trauma may shape our path, but it doesn’t define who we are. And healing (whatever it looks like) is always worth talking about.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be revisiting some of the powerful moments and voices from this year’s episodes. Whether you’ve been listening since day one or just found the podcast, I hope you’ll enjoy looking back on where we’ve been and looking forward to where we're headed.

The holiday season can be joyful, complicated, exhausting, or all of the above.

If this time of year feels a little heavier than usual, you're not alone. Take what you need. Rest if you can. Breathe through the moments.

Wishing you peace in the small things this season.

Happy Holidays,
Jonathan

▫️I've had another incredible year of learning, blessed with opportunities to connect with amazing people doing impactful work for veterans and first responders. Every year brings experiences I never thought possible, and it’s freakin awesome. I still hear from old friends who are absolutely crushing it. I appreciate all of you and the new friends reaching out and staying connected. I love hosting this podcast. It’s truly an honor to share the stories of these badass hammers.

▫️ I’m deeply grateful for my support unit and for all the uplifting, positive feedback from everyone listening. Without you all it would feel like I am talking to myself in a mirror and that would be uncomfortable. You are all greatly appreciated. Here’s to an even more impactful year in 2026!

This year brought some powerful conversations - stories of trauma, resilience, faith, healing, and everything in between.

On Monday, I’m closing out the season with a special holiday episode, looking back at the moments that stuck with me and what they taught me.

If you’ve been listening all year (or just found the podcast), this one’s for you. Stay tuned!

Let this be your reminder: your reactions make sense. Your brain and body did what they needed to survive.

There is nothing broken about you.

The books, teachers, and ideas that shaped Monica Robbins' healing journey made a big impact, especially as she explored the connection between spirituality and trauma recovery.

Here are a few of the resources she mentioned:

📚 Books by Adyashanti – Encouraging spiritual awakening and living beyond limiting narratives
📖 Hindu teacher texts like “I Am Not the Body” – Exploring detachment from identity and self-realization
📺 YouTube talks from Adyashanti, Alan Watts, and Ram Dass – Each offering a unique lens on mindfulness and meaning
🧠 Trauma healing work by Peter Levine & Daniel Siegel – Grounded techniques for integrating trauma safely and gently

Everyone’s path looks different, and these are just a few of the tools that helped Monica reconnect with herself.
