Unfiltered Wisdom: Raw Truths About Trauma

Episode Summary

The system designed to care for our veterans too often leaves them waiting, struggling, and unheard. When healing is tangled in bureaucracy, pain lingers and, in some cases, lives are lost. But what if real recovery isn’t hidden in policy, but rooted in practices that have existed for centuries? US Navy veteran and author Rob Greene sits down with Rob to explore how ancient modalities like yoga, martial arts, and meditation are helping veterans reclaim strength beyond the limits of modern systems. With powerful stories and grounded insight, they unpack how these practices move people from survival to restoration when traditional paths fall short.
