Are you ready to get up close and personal with the realities of trauma, military mental health, and the journey to healing? Join us as we sit down with Leslie Yancy, a seasoned respiratory therapist, and an inspiring mental health advocate. Her firsthand account of the inherent complexities of mental health and the unique manifestation of trauma offers a fresh perspective on a subject that's often glossed over.

Through a fascinating exploration of the unique bond shared by first responders and the military, we learn about the intense pressures of perfectionism, service before self-excellence, and the hidden trauma in high-stress professions.

As we journey further into Leslie's path of self-discovery and healing, we discuss the lack of confidentiality in mental health care, both in the military and civilian sector. Leslie's inspiring transformation from trauma to mental health advocacy underscores the significance of early intervention and shattering the stigma surrounding mental health. Her resilient spirit and relentless determination to support others grappling with similar experiences are bound to touch hearts and spark meaningful conversations. You don't want to miss this inspiring conversation.
