Episode Summary


In part one of this episode, we sit down with Alan Shebarro, who's a Special Forces veteran and BJJ black belt and talk about his post-service journey towards both mental health healing and finding purpose.


Alan reveals when he realised that he carried mental scars from serving overseas, and how they impacted his daily life.


We hope this podcast gives insight to those who serve their country, and to echo Alan's words, to seek help sooner.
