49 Tom Satterly: "You weren't trained on emotions or relationships, we can help you with that"

Tom Satterly, a retired US Army veteran with a notable tenure in special operations, shares his compelling experiences. From being on the ground during Battle of Mogadishu, to playing a pivotal role in the capture of Saddam Hussein, Tom's military career was filled with high stakes and intensity.However, the transition to civilian life brought its own set of challenges. We promise you'll gain a deeper understanding of this transition, as Tom candidly discusses the personal struggles and victories along the way, and how they led to the founding of the All Secure Foundation, a nonprofit committed to aiding veterans and their families.Tom reflects on the essence of self-discovery after leaving the military, we touch on the significance of managing emotions, overcoming ego, and embracing a new sense of self. The conversation underscores the importance of family and home as stabilizing forces and the critical need for effective communication in strengthening these relationships. Mental health, often shrouded in stigma, especially within military circles, takes center stage in our conversation. We explore the barriers veterans face in seeking help, including fears of losing security clearance or facing judgment from peers. Tom proposes a shift in perspective, viewing mental health support as "training" rather than a fix for brokenness. From revealing the power of storytelling to shedding light on continuous growth, our dialogue with Tom offers a beacon of hope and an invitation to participate in building a supportive community.Tom's InstagramAll SecureAll Secure Website Tom's account of the battle of Mogadishu on the Sean Ryan Show.Help us improve!
