Every veteran knows the feeling of searching for a "True North" when the mission changes. On Rusted Compass today, we're talking about resetting that compass and finding what truly grounds you when the stress of post-military life starts to wear you down.

The transition from service often comes with unique stresses. In this discussion, we explore concrete ways to manage anxiety, combat feelings of drift, and establish a firm emotional foundation. We cover everything from the power of consistent small actions to finding purpose outside of uniform—all tailored to help you navigate the complexities of daily living.

It's time to polish that Rusted Compass and set a course for inner peace.

Welcome to the latest episode of the Rusted Compass Podcast!

In this episode, we're doing a classic Rusted Compass "check-in"—a little bit of everything as we map out what's next. Join us for a candid, rambling chat where we dive into:

• The Upcoming: What's new with the podcast, what we're planning for the rest of [Month/Year], and some exciting new projects we're launching.

• The Babble: Just a lot of off-the-cuff thoughts, tangents, and life updates. Think of it as a low-key, informal catch-up session!

• The Mindset Check: We lightly touch base on two crucial topics: stress management and dealing with adversity. This isn't a deep dive—just our honest, quick take on handling the daily grind and keeping your compass pointed forward, even when it feels rusty.

Thanks for tuning in for the updates and the tangents. Let us know in the comments what you're looking forward to most!

Welcome back to the podcast! This week is a bit of a departure—it’s a real, raw, and perhaps slightly scatter-brained update on everything that's been on my mind.

I'm diving into the preparation phase for a few exciting new business ideas I'm exploring and giving you a peek behind the curtain on the creative and strategic process.

However, the main focus of this episode is on a few topics that are deeply personal and critically important:

• 🧠 Suicide Awareness (for me): I’m sharing openly about my own experience and journey with suicide awareness, and what that looks like in my daily life. It's a heavy but necessary conversation, and I hope it helps anyone else out there who is struggling.

• 🎭 Emotion Recognition: We explore the challenges of identifying and processing emotions, and how crucial emotional literacy is for mental health and entrepreneurship alike.

If this episode feels a little all over the place, it's because that's exactly where my head has been lately! Thanks for joining me for this candid check-in.
