Learning to Feel Like Yourself Again After the Military

Getting out of the military doesn't come with a manual. You leave one world behind and step into another that doesn't always make sense. In this episode, Air Force veteran and counselor Timothy Wienecke shares how he rebuilt his life after service and helps other vets do the same. Timothy opens up about how the Air Force turned things around for him, what he's learned about masculinity, and why finding real connection,  not just surface-level stuff, makes all the difference. This episode shares how to move forward without losing yourself in the process.
